AC was broken. 45F outside and heater was a movable room AC/heater unit. Oddly the unit was dripping water like condensation before turning off and blinking red. Very noisy and loud Manager said he would look at it when informed. Broken towel rack. Water pressure and temperature varied widely while bathroom. Out of shampoo. D Will not return unless reviews become stellar and discounts offered ———— Linen and towels appeared clean View, could see the ocean Room was spacious but need updating and cleaning
