This property is great because of its easy proximity to the beach-which is so nice. The price is definitely right and it’s a no frills easy hotel to sleep at after a long day in the sun/water. My only complaint is that I tried to access Amazon prime video app and the tv didn’t work and kept showing error codes. Not that big of a deal but would’ve been nice if it had worked

This hotel also wants to see ur guests visa or immigration status. Searching passport for visa page wasn't nice. I suggest that if u have any foreign guest accompanying ur travel, u may need a different hotel otherwise, ur guests may be heckled for privacy documents.

Great location. The bed spread and floors need to be washed. I actually washed the floor . My socks turned black when I took off my shoes.So I soaked the bathmat and pushed it around the floor with my foot. It was black after one pass. A couple of more passes and it was adequate. Need to retrain the maids.

We found two roaches, went to two rooms because ours flooded, room smells like pee the one they relocated us to. All the covers have bad stains, and we didn’t even get a discount or extra night for it. Won’t stay again and the pool closes at 9 on spring break. Staff was helpful when there. They don’t have 24/7 Maintence just on call after 11ish until 6 pm which is crazy. First time ever I have been somewhere I have to call when my room is flooding and it’s not even my fought, it was coming from the floor!!!!
