Room was fine. It met our needs and budget for pet friendly accommodation. The stove was extremely clean, likely because there were no pots or pans or bakeware.

I liked that the beds were in separate rooms and the beds were comfortable. Also, it was a full apartment if that’s what you are needing. We were just there for sleeping one night. The rooms were clean as well. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of noise in the hallway during the night and it echoed into our room. The property was all a bit rundown but we just needed a place to sleep without spending a fortune. You get what you pay for.

Cons: Mattress and linen had stains. No hair dryer in bathroom. Walls have many holes/loose boards. Tub faucet taped back onto wall. Smelled extremely extremely strongly of cigarette smoke. Floors had crumbs and were clearly not vacuumed. Stayed for two days and did not receive room service/ refill on towels and linens. Pros: management very friendly and helpful. Answered all questions my partner and I had. Cheap pricing and located in an area with decent shopping and eating. Close to the beach (15 min drive). Good place to stay if you are out all day and just need a place to sleep.

Wouldn’t be my first pick

The room was clean but very out of date. The carpet in the halls was very dirty and balconies and amenities in bad shape.

Bring your dog ...for security

The sand castle was ok considering they do except pets. We expect a little less for this reason so are stay was ok to good. The halls carpets are very stained., the rear entrance door was not locked, and rooms have a keyed knob and no deadbolt. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Overall we had a quiet restful night.
