The property was pretty old and rooms not that attractive but the staff were very nice and welcoming. Balcony overlooked the beach and we could walk right downstairs to the sand.

Horrible
I would rather sleep outside then at that hotel. It was dirty floors dirty look like it had so much water damage the walls were buckling. When you stepped in the tub it felt like he was going to go through the floor and everywhere you step a bubble was made. I booked the room for overnight I lasted 4 hours that was so beneath my level of comfort till I could not stay. My plans is to contact my bank to have them stop that payment and take it from there. So not worthy of anybody's money. Will never book there again!!

Please update the rooms, I killed 2 bugs after arriving, the comforters had cigarette burns, the sheets were dirty. The cabinets are either wilting away, or something has been scratching at them.

Stayed here for 2 nights with my family. The giy at thr front desk was super nice. And the maintenance guy im assume was super nice kept asking if we needed anything. The bed were comfortable. It was a older hotel could use some updates. We were on the 1st floor thankful bc there isnt a elevator. The pool was right at out front door which was nice. And thr balcony was oce. Front. Also very easy to walk straight onto the beach.

Worse dump ever
No one works in the office until 4:00. The onsite person was drunk and gave us our keys. That room didn't have hot water so we went down to office again and the desk lady gave us another room. The hot water did work after 10 full minutes running. The toilet seat didn't even fit the toilet. I've attached picture. No one came to clean our room. We were there for 3 days. There was no trash can in the room. Had to ask for one on second day there. The pool outside looked like no one had cleaned it. Had dead water bugs floating in it, bird feathers, dirt. Parking is a joke. No room but for 4 cars then you have to park across the street behind another motel. Never saw a cleaning person. Maint man came in at 4:00 with the desk lady. No one there during the day. There was a sandspur in one of the towels. Luckily I felt it on my hand before I wiped my face with it. There were only a handful of channels on the tv. No cable. I don't know about wifi. We used our own on our phones. I would never stay here again.

Not pleased
When we arrived we was excited, our kids jumped in the pool!then we walked into our room and it looked dingy..our slide in door didn’t open for us to go on the balcony and watch the beach water and reflex and enjoy the air!! There was no housekeeping and no one to come fix the sink that was leaking all night and got the floor wet. Then to top it off there was 2 giant roaches on the walls and even out front of our door! Not worth all the money they charge!

The hotel was super accommodating and the guy in the office was really nice and helpful. Great staff… BUTTT the rooms are TRASH. We are scared to even step on the carpet without shoes. We walked into dead roaches. Mildew all over the bathroom, and two different floors. The sliding doors don’t open, scared to put our hands in there because there might be needles. The sheets and towels are stained and had hair on them. We didn’t find bed bug thank god. Holes in the wall of our room, not just hole that had been punched but hole to the outside so it doesn’t cool all the way down. Speaking of holes in the wall, there are huge gaps between the outside and the AC and the outside door. The shower didn’t have a shower head and there were dead begs in the bathtub. We wore the shoes we wore to the beach in the shower and had to use a cup to rinse off. Location is pretty decent. But the walk to the beach is walking pass a dumpster and stepping in its juice, make sure you’re up to date on your shots. Bad smells at all times. The water smells like eggs. We are scared to even open the cabinets because of all the trash and gross things in there. Overall friendly people but terrible hotel. Please don’t stay here unless you’re high in heroine or Xanax so you don’t remember it.

No words
There was a bug in the bed when we arrived. The guy that helps came up and sprayed room for us. There was no phone, no clock, no coffeemaker. We took showers with our shoes on. I'm glad we brough our own blankets and pillows as there were no extras not that we would have used it. For the price, the hotel isn't that bad for just sleeping. Go somewhere else if you want to hang out. The owner is a lonley old man who likes to talk with girls as they walk in. Even minors. So I would suggest no children period. The view was spectacular!!!!! Wonder how much it would cost to buy it and build it up myself just because of the view and location
