Reviewing room 205. This specific room had good air conditioning, a cute balcony, and good space for 2. The other positives were the location, breakfast included, and the very helpful staff they were responsive and nice. The not so great was the mattress was very hard and the standup shower space was tiny.

The location was the best!!!!Room very clean, the one we were was on the small side with side ocean view. The problem was the internet, did not work and the shower extremely small and water flow was small and fluctuatated constantly so you will have cold water and hot water in a second. Breakfast was very good
