They should not show pictures of the nice rooms in the hotel. We were told to go across the street to the motel which was hideous. the AC was so loud it was impossible to sleep, the room was gross and the front window was facing the parking lot and anyone could see in at any time. There was no security on the motel side and they never tell you when you book that it is NOT a HOTEL. In moments you are whisked from this nice gorgeous looking hotel on the beach to a motel that looks like it took a page from a book on where serial killers find their prey. Trust me do not stay here.

The original reservation was for a non ocean view facing room, however, what was not shared until arrival was that the room was across the street in an adjacent building who’s quality was nowhere near the main hotel. We opened the door, looked around and left for a refund. The property across the street is in need of major renovation and repair from the room carpet and beds to the pool and overall appearance.
