"We’ve stayed here several times in the past. Good location. No daily maid service and you have to give 24 hours notice if you want it but you can ask at front desk for coffee or towels if needed. The drain in the sink has a rotten egg (slider) odor and I’ve noticed it in past visits. However, it is a good location and anemities are good for the price. Moonstone beach boardwalk and access right across the street."
