This was the absolute worst hotel stay ever! Dirty, moldy, stinky. This hotel was terribly ran down. Our balcony had beer bottles with cigarettes, drapes non-operable, bathroom dirty, toilet seat barely on the toilet. The hallway had the old trash and smell like a dead animal. The outside bar completely run down. I would not give any stars but in order to leave a review you have to select at least one.

Hotel is very convenient to the beach, very friendly staff. Parking at the hotel is $35 which is a bit inconvenient when your already paying a lot for the room. Housekeeping only entered to take trash out, never left clean towels or toilet paper. Had to walk to the front desk for these items. Room ceilings and bathroom have mold which is so harmful to people. Spending $500 for weekend to have visible mold is not ok. The curtains on the sliding door are very dirty and visible mold. Beds are super small.

First we were given the keys to someone else's occupied room. Then they gave us a room where the balcony door was rusted shut. We paid extra for a balcony. No phone in the room, had to use my cellphone and wait 30 minutes to get the front desk. Wifi wasn't available at all. All bars and restaurants in the hotel advertised as in house dining, were ALL CLOSED. the pool is shared among 3 hotels.

Family trip

First off, this is an older hotel that is in need of a renovation so go in with that in mind. With that being said, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very nice. What you can't beat about this hotel is the location. The beach access and the little bar on the beach is great! They even had a DJ out in the evenings. We will stay again.
