Basic Stay Near the Pier

carpet stains broken fan
The noise was definitely an issue. Traffic sounds kept me awake most of the night. The room itself needed some work. I noticed stains on the carpet and the bathroom fan was broken.

fantastic location!

ample space comfortable beds tea station smart tv
the family room had ample space for my children and me. it had a smart tv with popular apps like netflix, providing plenty of entertainment. the beds were comfortable, and i found a generous supply of towels. there was also a fully stocked tea, coffee, and sugar station available.
The wifi signal was occasionally weak. It made streaming videos a little difficult.

filthy carpets fixed shower head
the fridge in the room was a nice touch, i guess.
the carpets looked like they hadn't been cleaned since the 80s. my socks proved it. also, the shower took forever to warm up, and the head was fixed to the wall. what is this, a prison?
