I checked out today after five days. My first thought upon entering room 401 was "drab". The room was furnished very cheaply and didn't appear to be that clean. The sheets and towels were very dingy. I have one word for them: "bleach". The room was a nice size for one person and had 2-burner stove, apartment sized refrigerator and microwave. Bathroom was just large enough for toilet and tub. The sink was outside the bathroom. I used some of the dishes and left them in the sink. The maid "washed" the dishes. I found food spots on them when I pulled them back out. The closest places to eat were somewhat of a hike. Nothing closer than two blocks away. A couple were a nice walk down the beach though. The nearest "grocery" store was a 7-Eleven a couple blocks away. The great thing about the room was the balcony overlooking the gulf. Fabulous sunsets every evening.
The price was right at $105/night (with AAA discount). All in all not a bad place. Just not great. And, let's face it- a bad place on the beach is better than a good place anywhere else.
