Really good stay with ocean views

queen beds friendly staff member picnic area
The room had a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. I found two queen beds and a new AC and heat unit in the room. The staff member I met at check-in was friendly (it was a late arrival). The pool and picnic area looked clean, and it was well kept.
I noticed the fire pits turned off at 10pm. My bathroom tub did not drain and I was like they really didn't care. i had to pay for parking.
