breakfast selection hotel location outdated bed safe charge
the breakfast selection was amazing! i loved all the different options available. the hotel's location is super convenient because it's really close to both the beach and the marina, how cool is that?!
the beds felt a bit old, i really think they need updating. plus, i was surprised they charged extra for using the safe in the room. it's a bit overpriced
