Look somewhere else

We arrived at least two hours after check in started and they sent us to a room that hadn't even been cleaned yet. The room smelled musty, like the filter in the air conditioning had never been changed. I wasn't expecting much, but this place was not good. Would not recommend.
This was our room when we walked in after checking in.

Had trouble finding our room and parking; the first person checking us in did not provide directions for either and we had to come back each time to ask for directions for both. The way the rooms are numbered is confusing. Rooms starting with 5 are on the second floor. Location is good and it’s convenient. Room was clean and there were enough beds etc. and we liked the outdoor showers. It could definitely stand to be updated.

The only issue was the hotel claims the 2nd floor rooms are poolside, they are not. And no elevator to 2nd floor.

You’ll have to pay more for good quality hotel.

The room smelled like mildew. The toilet took two flushes to empty. The air conditioner made a loud rattling sound after running several hours. I had to turn off the air conditioner and restart in the middle of the night. The portable refrigerator was wobbly and froze everything even when on the lowest setting. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, parking and beach passes were included and it was close to the beach and boardwalk.
