3.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1005)
"Our stay was good. It was easy to check in and get our baggage to the room. The hotel was clean and pretty quiet. It was a great location despite not being as close to the
beach
as we thought but still pretty centralized. Our only complaints was the room temperature. The ac was too cold at 71 but too hot at 72. We had a challenge changing the temperature initially but we were able to figure it out. The second thing was there wasn’t enough ventilation in the bathroom. The fan didn’t stay...
