Shark Reef
Stayed two nights at the Shark Reef. Location is great and it looks like the owners are upgrading the property. Had to get someone to reset the internet/cable on the TV. There wasn't a hair dryer in the room. Lobby door was always locked, so for the early riser, had to go to the gas station for coffee. For the price, it was an okay stay.
