茂子's place is a really great value or budget stay if you're looking to be close by to the beach and main strip but don't want to spend a whole lot of money. I would especially recommend this place if you want somewhere to crash close by after spending most of the day out on the beach or doing activities.
The unit itself is located within a larger hotel/complex that is a bit older, but 茂子 has done a nice job furnishing and stocking the place with everything that you will need; Hair dryer, iron, toiletries, paper towels, shampoo/conditioner, etc. Even some useful beach items. The unit had been properly cleaned when I arrived and there's a really nice balcony with a great view of the beach and sunset that you will love.
At the expense of being central, you do need to deal with the noise from a busy street, bar and foot traffic from below. The AC/fan will help drown out some of it, but as other's stated you may want to bring some ear plugs if you're not used to that type of noise from traffic and late-night passerbys.
The lock on the door is combo deadbolt/lock. Just keep the inside toggle to the right and the deadbolt will activate each time you open/shut the door for security.
I didn't need to contact 茂子 for anything during my stay but they had good communication up front with me and were quick to respond.
Based on the cost I can definitely recommend this stay since its highly affordable in an otherwise pricey area and steps from the water. Thank you 茂子 for hosting me in your nice space with everything that I needed!
