Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good
"Perfect location. We were able to check in early to start exploring. Staff was very friendly and helpful. No special bells and whistles but everything you need for an amazing trip to the coast. Our room could have used a fresh coat of paint but overall it was clean and had everything we needed. We were able to park our car and walk to everything. Will definitely stay again."
