The outside looks really bad but the inside was nice and clean. It has a full kitchen with a stove, sink, fridge and microwave. Everything you need is there. Silverware, dishwashing rag, hand drying towel. They have 3 pools, a hot tub and its on the beach. The staff were really nice and security was doing a great job of making rounds. They also have board games and popcorn. Shopping stores across the street. Also, places to eat and drink across the street also.I was very satisfied.

Stayed for Christmas holidays. 1950's hotel with worn out rooms and nasty dirty hot tub. Great if you're on a tight budget with kids.
