Hotel is dated, but you can tell they are working on updating. We were early arriving, and were allowed to leave our luggage in the office until we could check in. All in all, the hotel is worth staying at for the price and proximity to the beach.

So far we have been charged $578.55 (2 nites) for the room with German cockroaches, loud people in the garden at 6:30 am. Staff was polite & helpful. Who do I get the double charge refund from??
