"loved the balcony looking over the street to the beach. Could sit out there more. room was clean and the price was great for the location. would stay again for sure. issue was checking in got there at 1:30pm and office was closed with a number to call. called number and mail box was full. I think a gentleman they hired told us to go to office of hotel in back. got there no one was around went back to other office and what i thought was a maintenance man gave us a number to call the boss. call him and he told us no one was to be at the desk until two. Question: why didn't they have a note on the door of the hotel we were staying at to tell us 2pm and where to go to get checked in. Went to lunch and all was fine after we got back and understood how and when to check in."
