Horrible Expierence....

I paid for a room that was occupied by another tenant when me and my children arrived. I was told to go to another location for another room at a completly different address at 2am. The gate did not open, due to being jammed. Recieved a text with room number and pin to get into a room, that was occupied by another tenant who screamed while we were trying to get in!! Reps are not on location to give proper directions and I ending up with no room sleeping in the car. All this took place while hotel rep was on the phone line with me to witness all that took place. Emailed, called, texted about a refund.. Yet issue is still not resolved. But recieved a meesage to rate our stay.

We had a good experience and it’s walkable to the beach. For the couple of nights that we stayed there, I never felt unsafe. I guess the only bad part is that nobody respected the quiet time.

I would only give 2 stars for location, byt otherwise the propeert itself was less than average. The Wifi never worked, we messaged to alert the property but they did not arrive to fix it until the day we left. Thet bathroom was moldy on the sid of the vanity sink and the bathroom didnt look clean. The sofa was falling apart, the neighbors in the other apartment were loud in the shared space and smoking weed. Thank god ww only had to stay 1 night, would not book again.

I stayed here for 4 day and unfortunately no one got back to me about how I wasn’t going to have WiFi for all the days I stayed. The tvs don’t work because they need the WiFi. Please don’t stay here.

Leaks on the room everywhere, place was hard to find. Mop was on the floor for some reason. Bathroom had nasty smell. WiFi doesn’t work and the guy charges extra $50 if you pass 11am check out time. We only stayed because our flight got cancelled late night and following next flight was 4pm the following day.

The place wasnt bad but definitely not what was advertised in pictures. Not 100% clean and nothing but not extremely dirty. Shower was broken and took long for water to turn hot. No windows felt like a prison kind of.

My spouse and I spent three days here. While the location is great—close to the beach and several restaurants—we were disappointed by a few things. The towels had an unpleasant smell, and there was a lot of noise from the hallway; we could hear every step, and people were shouting during the night. It affected the quality of our stay. We asked to extend our stay by just one hour, but were told it would cost an additional $50. There was also no place to store our luggage after check-out, so we gave up on the idea.
