Clean and friendly staff; very basic older room but great price
Very sketchy! Run down, street parking only and pretty sure there is unlawful activity in and around this area. I felt very unsafe with my family there! Don’t take your kids please
I have stayed at this hotel before with no problems but last night was horrible because it wasn’t until late last night that I discovered that I was in the roach motel. It was so horrible, I called the office and nobody answered. So I sent a text message, again no response. I will not be back for awhile , hopefully they will fix the problem and exterminate.

The staff is friendly, the rooms were clean and it’s right next to the beach
Place is a little run down but nice location. Access to the beach across the road was the best part of the trip. Staff could barely speak English and had to call a translator to finish our stay. They were very nice people and the rooms were nice, just a little dirty.
This is the worst place I have ever stayed. It’s in such poor shape that I can understand how it hasn’t been shut down for poor conditions. Even the Uber driver was scared to drop me off here.
