The location is convenient and ocean view is beautiful. However I need to point out some areas of opportunity that if taken care of will bring up the property to a more attractive position. The property has poor maintenance and cleanliness. It needs renovation as it is outdated. It has potential for improvement mainly in the facilities and furniture aspects. I observed also some safety hazards around the property as electrical outlets and outdoor lamps corroded and hangin. Some parts of the 2nd floor patios were soft. I stayed in rooms 305, 311, 308 and 111. Room 111 is recently renewed but it is extremely small and located in a noisy corner. Room 305 was a disaster, carpets were dirty, rotten and full of spots everywhere. The furniture - sofa was dirty with spots and too many items in the room that didnt even make sense. The towels in every room are old and have spots. Room 311 has a nice partial ocean view from the patio but needs attention to cleanliness and renovation. I observed on the patio there were some sharp rusted pieces of metal in one of the corners of the outdoor patio. Room 308 has an espectacular ocean view from the outdoor patio. It has been renovated but needs attention on some safety hazard issues in the bathroom. The floor next to the shower has become soft under the tiles resulting in broken tiles that has not been repaired. The floor has some damaged areas that the wood has been peeled off that may result in potential safety hazard for the guests.

The curtains were nasty and falling down. The cushion on the couch had the foam exposed all the way across the front. A burner on the stove was crooked. I didn't even make it in the bathroom as my wife said no way was she staying. Took the keys back and told the guy to keep the money. Room number was 101. Closest to the beach. Told the guy when I was checking in I couldn't believe the price. When I saw the condition I saw why. We wouldn't have stayed if free.
