“For a straightforward stay emphasizing the essentials, this option delivers on clean beds and reliably cold rooms. Its Ocean Drive address places you directly across from beach access, with fishing spots and recreational paths close by. While some areas show wear, it's a practical choice for those prioritizing location and basic comfort over extensive amenities.”
