The room was large and well set up. It was very clean. Only a sheet and thin coverlet on the bed - I would have liked a blanket. A short walk to the beach (two blocks?) Entry by code was great, but could have been nerve-wracking if my phone had run out of battery while out on the beach or if I left my phone in the room.

Overall the property was great, the location is great for jumping over the bridge to the ocean. I am challenged writing this review because overall we enjoyed the property. On our first night, we spent some time in the pool. My daughter went to ask the front desk for towels and the staff was rude to her. They said, "are there not any in the bin"? She told the staff she did not know where the bin was and the staff member waved to the bin by a window. My daughter then asked where the pool entry...
