The interior of the hotel feels dated, with visible rust on the faucet. In addition, the room had an unpleasant odor. I stayed for two nights, and housekeeping skipped cleaning the room and changing the towels without offering any option to request service.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The General manager was so nice. I had a small dog. And got an upgraded. Ground level room. Overall nice staff .
I think for the price it’s amazing the room was clean easy access to the beach. Restaurants nearby the only problem i had is the guest in the other rooms they were so loud disrespectful.
The moment we checked in we noticed the hotel looked very run down and the sign by the road was scratched out, and also we were told to put down a $100 deposit when the site said nothing about it. When we actually got up to our room the stairs we took to get to the room were chipped and falling apart with roaches strewn about. The actual hotel room we were assigned to was missing a tv and it smelt of mould and a certain cleaner i couldnt pinpoint, there were disgusting mysterious liquids on the walls and broken tiles in the restroom and throughout the actual room. When we brought all our concerns to the front desk they said they couldnt do anything about it and they also refused to give our refund back after we asked. They ended up giving us another room and the ONLY difference was that this one wasnt missing a tv. I would NEVER stay here again and i hope noone ever has to either , we were also BULLIED into giving up our parking spot when another family came up and close to our window and made up lies about saying management gave them that spot and they constantly honked at us till we moved. THE POOL AND HOT TUB WERE DISGUSTING, with multiple drunk people drinking and partying at it, you ALSO have to gather your own wet dirty towels and take them all the way to the front desk by hand just to get new clean ones because maids come every OTHER day. After telling the front desk AGAIN about all our concerns and MORE that kept happening throughout our stay they said they couldnt h
Front desk guy at check in should work on his attitude and customer service skills. And the owner should maybe invest in towels that look clean and fresh & into the hotel for adequate water pressure or maybe housekeeping shouldn’t give stained and dingy towels You will definitely get what you paid for if your looking at a $30 rate per night
Cockroaches in the room , TV with no remote to be able to use it , we requested one that never came , mold in the shower , worn towels , very good AC , no security guard in the parking lot
I do not recommend this hotel. We paid nearly $800 for 2 nights and it is very old, the place felt/smelled dirty, cracks in the door (we had to put a towel in the crack to keep the air from escaping) there were roaches when i attempted to use the microwave. Not worth what we paid. The one thing we did enjoy was sitting outside catching the sea breeze. Other than that, It was very uncomfortable.
