Very welcoming to pets. Had a partial view of the ocean. Everything was ok until I was ate up by bedbugs. I was only given 5 dollars to wash all of our stuff and only refunded half of my money back when we left to purchase a different hotel after washing absolutely EVERYTHING. Lost 2 days of vacay because of this!

Find somewhere else. This hotel has a massive roach (not palmetto bugs) infestation, its disgustingly unclean and has a drug problem involving needles on the property. The "oceanview" balcany includes the sight and smell of dog feces.

Didnt use the pools we went for the beach view & from our room all we seen was beach for miles, For a budget friendly vacation you couldnt ask for anything any better. I loved the staff they were very helpful and friendly. Made sure we had everything we needed! The building hasnt been updated but thats why its so budget friendly so as far as im concerned they dont need to update a thing i love it the way it is. The pools were accessible they have 2 diffrent ones i seen both outdoors but who would want to swim in them when the beach is so close. I cant say enough good things this place is amazing plan your trip there its worth it you get your deposit back.

When we arrived, they told us the pool was closed for the day. Did not give a reason. They had a leak somewhere, which is understandable so we had no water for the first two hours. The room was missing a drawer in the kitchen, stunk like marijuana and the bathtub was literally peeling although it was very last minute due to a plane delay, and I only paid $100. It was definitely a place. I would never stay again.

Check in staff were very kind, but assigned me the wrong room, not what I booked, they did get that straightened out. The billing was incorrect, and we did not have advanced notice that a $100 cash only hold had to be collected at check in. Thankfully I had that with me. Cleaning staff were very nice and helpful, but very understaffed. Our dirty towels sat outside our room for three days, with no replacement, and we had to go to the desk three times throughout one day (morning to late night) to try to get towels to shower, have toiletries replaced and garbage bags. The new owner is very nice and you can tell they are working hard to improve the property.

The room was horrible. No heat, no cold water in shower, bathroom sink was stopped up. They moved us to another room that the heat didn’t work in as well. They also did not give me the ocean front room I paid for. I will never stay again. They also owe me a refund because I paid for one thing and got the cheapest one.
