Reviewer Comments:
This place was okay it was super clean. However it does not fit 12 people as noted so a few of us were out of the bed. There were also a couple really loud parties until about 2:00 in the morning but security did finally shut them down. It was really nice to be able to stay right by the water like that. More than anything we were just disappointed that every adult didn't have a place to sleep as listed. The top bunk will only hold one small child even though it's listed as a full size bed. When I alerted them about the problems with not having enough beds they kind of just brushed it off and didn't even offer me a partial refund.
