"The location was convenient and close to the beach, which was a positive. However, the property did not match the pictures shown on Expedia. It was more like a motel than a hotel, and the overall condition was disappointing. It was also very loud and noisy. Guests in other rooms were slamming doors, and there were drunk people making noise around 3:00 AM. This was not the type of place I expected based on the listing, and it made for an uncomfortable stay."
