Location is great! It’s basic. Dont expect anything special.
The neglected swimming pool that turned green with algae was a real eye sore and was a real turn off. Should have covered the pool up for off season or at least keep the chlorine and filtration system running until end of October when it begins to get too cold for algae to grow.

Location! Room 359 is the top balcony facing the ocean. I stayed in this room with my parents 35 years ago, and I will say not much has changed. But I loved the nostalgia of it. The balcony is a such a nice, private little spot. You get the sun. You get the crashing waves. You get the seagulls in the morning. We slept with the door open and heard the ocean all night. Are there some things that could be changed that would pump up the value of the property? Sure. Some cosmetic stuff. But you’d also pay more. And that price point was amazing for us! The water pressure was good and if you wait about 2 minutes or so, it can get very hot. We had plenty of towels. Our sheets and bedding were clean. Our parking spot was right near our stairs. Of course, we did stay September 17-21, so it wasn’t as crowded at the end of the season.
I would say, it’s not a matter of “not liking.” It is more a matter of preference. Would I prefer to not have carpet in the room? Yes. It holds the moisture and smells. So, yeah, it does irritate my allergies. Would I prefer to not have a wall of windows that rattle every time I close my door? Yep. It’s also not the safest. Would I prefer to not hear pressure in the pipes every 10 minutes that sounded like a dog yelping for a few seconds? Yeah. Will I concede to say I would prefer the mattresses be updated? Yes. But I will say that most of the negative reviews, if they’re about room 359, they’re exaggerating the negatives. We stayed 4 nights and spent probably 10% of our time there. And when we were there we really enjoyed that balcony. We paid less than $100 a night and it was well, well worth it!!
