You have to pay extra for packing. I would have paid a little bit more for all inclusive.

You get much lower value compared the daily rate. This is essentially a motel on the busy road. Rooms have no noise cancelling, ppl staying next door, ppl walking/shouting outside, cars, etc.. you hear everything, all night. There is parking onsite, but it was full. We were recommended to park at public parking two blocks away.. overall, pretty poor experience.

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay any more! When we first walked into the room we were stunned to find a large jacuzzi bath and separate very luxurious shower that were not depicted in the photos. The location near the beach and the pier was fantastic. Staff were receptive to a number of requests that we made. Our room was very quiet with a comfortable mattress. We would definitely recommend to a friend or would be thrilled to return if we are back in the area!
