10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean, loved the access to the beach and close to the fun in the area. It would be nice to have 24 vending and access to a microwave. If we're staying in a budget motel, we're probably bringing our own food as well, so access to a microwave is essential, but the lobby with the only one was closed for several hours."
