We enjoyed our stay

It was a decent place to stay in for the price. Neighbors were quiet, and there was a little dog park right behind our room which was nice. It’s hard to find a place that takes pets. The staff was friendly and courteous. Plus, we enjoyed being within 2 minutes of the beach and restaurants.

Location was excellent. Staff very friendly. Upon entry to room, it smelt dank. We went to local store and got cleaning stuff and cleaned the bathroom and entire floor of hotel, fortunately it was a tile floor. I am positive those floors haven't been mopped in a long time. Bathroom door hinges were loose and had to lift door to get to close. The toilet seat was loose and moved around when you sat on it. Once properly cleaned, our stay was nice and being so local to beach, food and stores was excellent. I think the cleaning part should be more thorough.

The shower was dirty and rusty, showered at the beach showers instead. They also charge an additional fee upon check in that was not disclosed anywhere but upon arrival. The room and bed itself wasn’t too bad just the dirty rusted bath tub was the only complaint.

Had to be careful when using the toilet, it was so loose at the base that it felt like it was going to tip over and the door would not close.Also had some neighbors who decided to hold a party that kept us up.

A few sachets of shampoo but no soap or body wash. No cups or glasses in the room and no coffee maker. Plus no TV guide on the channel numbers. And no way to work out how to turn on the AC. Overall a very basic and sterile room lacking in the usual amenities. We will not be staying here again.

Bed had only one sheet to cover no blanket. Reported to receptionist, but we never got a blanket or extra towel. Stayed 2 night, never cleaned. Receptionist said they needed help and only one person was working. Horrible experience. We will never go to this place again.

When they say you get what you paid for this is what they mean! The beds were so uncomfortable that my whole family woke up sore. The room smelled funny and the carpet was so dirty with stains and there was a hole in the bathroom door. I will never stay here again.

The rooms were not at all what I expected. There were stains/spots on the sheets and shower curtain, the blinds were broken, the bathtub had a rusted hole in the bottom and the plugger was broken so we switched rooms. Same with the second room. Stains and broken plugger, then were told we needed to pay an extra amount for the switch.

not the worst but its okay for a night

the staff at checkin and check out were super amazing friendly and nice. the room we were in #15 its a super basic room PROS: the bed was comfortable. there was a microwave, mini fridge and table with two chairs also a tv. The towels seemed pretty new. The parking lot is easy to park in. CONS: the mini fridge door dragged on the ground making it hard to open and close. the room needs a deep clean and maintenance. the walls need painting as you can see were repairs were done and instead of using wall color its now a hige spot of white paint. the faucet in the bathroom is super loose to the point of needing repair. all the walls and door jams are horribly dirty. the floor was however super clean as well as the shower. This hotel was great for a night at 145.00 in mid oct.

Friendly staff. The place was just old and worn. We didn’t have a tv remote and didn’t bother to ask for one since we were only staying the night. The toilet seats were torn and the shower curtains were too short. It fell above the tub so all the water would spray out under the curtains into the floor when you showered. The towels were all stained as well. Kind of hard to fell comfortable using the towels. I stayed with my hubby and toddler. My toddler is at a weird stage where he doesn’t like dirty. He kept complaining his feet were dirty and had particles on it when he climbed into bed. Haha.

There were no lamps on the nightstands. Only light in the bedrooms provided by one bulb in the ceiling. Sink area had no countertop no place for women replace their cosmetic bags or anything else. No tissues in the room no toilet paper holder in the bathroom. Only two towels available. Combination shampoo and conditioner packets were extremely difficult to tear open. It was a large gap under the front door which allowed cold air to stream in at night. Booked a queen bed but was given a full size. Way overpriced it more than $330. Probably deserved some credit on my bill as a result. Swimming pool was drained needed work.

They have been updating the room since we were there last, the sleeping area was definitely updated, new beds and flooring. The restroom lacked any updates, rotting base boards, bathtub took forever to drain and the faucet came off and shot across the tub. I'm hoping they complete the upgrades soon.
