Reservation for 4 persons but the lady gave us a very small room with 1 double bed. It even looked like a twin bed to me. You have to cross the road to get to the other building. Maybe the lady didn't pay attention the details of my reservation. I complained and the relief staff gave me the right room.

Stayed for one night. The room was nice and clean, some of the furniture was a bit outdated and beat up but that is not a huge a deal. The hotel is close to the boardwalk. Will definitely be staying here again.
