The room was pretty clean for the most part. There was some dust and cobwebs behind the curtains. Room was a bit upgraded, but ceiling was disgusting. Bed was super comfortable and room got nice and chilly to sleep! This is a self check in hotel so no staff to talk about. Ice machine could use a good cleaning. King size bedroom could use a small couch. No ocean view from the room, but a two minute walk away.

Personally, I did not care for the online check-in and having ZERO staff onsite. The room appeared clean at first then I noticed gum stuck to the curtains in an effort to keep them shut in the middle...GROSS! And hairs left in the shower/tub combo. The outside of the property needs to be cleaned up some. Location is in a quiet area of MB, so that was good.

Let's go with the positives!!! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Beds comfy, ungraded furniture and refrigerator. We stayed here 3 yrs ago and loved it! Older property, great location, rooms with no frills but clean. This stay, eh I was disappointed. The check in was virtual, like an Air BNB. The interior of the room was either caulked or drywall patched to the hilt. The tub had a very slow drain, notified the property and it was repaired quickly. We noticed gnats in the bathroom and the pool was open but looked like it could use a good vacuuming. The location is great, the response from management was rapid but could use a bit more tidding.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Worst experience I’ve ever had and what’s worse is that after calling and making several complaints we left after one night. They never offered to refund any of the money I spent to stay at this dive! The pool was green so I would never have let my kids swim in it and the floor of the room was sticky and gross! The noise was out of control! There is NO ONE on site to manage any situations that may arise! They need to permanently close this hotel and use the area for parking! If they truly cared about making their paying customers happy they would have tried to compensate me for the nights I wasn’t staying!
