Ocean Pacific Lodge

Ocean Pacific Lodge

4/10 Poor
"Sheets were stretched out and bunched terribly when you were trying to sleep. The louvered shutters were aesthetically nice but allowed bright lights to shine in your eyes through the cracks at night. Tv reception kept going in and out and was blurry. Floor was sandy."
