Cockroaches in the room, bed was like sleeping on the floor. Did have an awesome view of the ocean, with limited beach area. Is at the edge of where homeless hang out but they did not bother folks. Walking distance within a great breakfast place called Kountry Kitchen and don't miss out getting BBQ at Paniola Santa Maria, hopefully live music happening!
