8/10 Very Good! (506 reviews)
Cant beat the location for the price. Rooms could definitely be cleaner though, and staff was a little odd and unwelcoming. Also SO SO loud. All we heard at night was cars and the crosswalk. But overall a decent budget choice close to the beach that has renovated rooms.
