Although this property is a little older and could use a better cleaning in the bathroom, it was a very comfortable stay! Very close to everything, right across the street from the beach and staff was very nice.

The two negatives were a weak water pressure when showering and limited parking. Overall, it was very good.

I’m very upset about when I checked in last night upon checking in I was told my deposit for one night stay would be put back on my card today at noon which is the day I check out as long as I didn’t smoke or have a pet in room which I did not do either. Then today when I go to check out I ask about my deposit & was told I would not get it back on my card for 3-5 business days from today!!!! I need my deposit back today the day I was told when I got the room!! If I would have been told it was going to take 3-5 business days before I got my money back I would have never paid for room!
