Overall room was clean. However front staff specifically Moe provided terrible customer service. Upon checking in, he couldn't confirm my booking and my credit card was charged twice.

Comfortable clean fresh room. Nice pillows and bed. Liked larger sized refrig and freezer. Very friendly and helpful family run with live person on site at all times. This signal female senior felt very safe. Location is central for beach, downtown, restaurants, fast food and much more. Great low price. Will stay there again.
