One night was OK for one time.
Great that it is so close to the airport. However it's tricky to find, parking service and walk to entrance even with one small carry on was difficult with steep steps. Counter service was great checking in and checking out. Creepy hallways and I'm a native.

Decent for the Price
Coral By The Sea has a great location, and two restaurants. Issues were with general cleanliness of the room and details that could easily be taken care of without much money. For example a lot of the metal furniture and decor pieces were rusted. Room had hair on floor and bed sheets. TV and WiFi on floor were not working entire stay. Holes in wall and makeshift repairs. The service was great though and they try to make you feel at home.
