Coral Reef Inn & Suites

8/10 Good
"While the room was a little run down and dated. It was clean and did not have any pests that I could see. The shower had great water pressure but if you are taller (I am 5’10’’) that shower head is a little low. The breakfast provided in the morning is a little limited with only dairy yogurt, variety of prepackaged pastries, and bread to make toast. They did offer coffee, two kinds of tea, and orange juice. As for location there was a Safeway and trader Joe’s right down the street. As well as other shopping near by."
