Good luck trying to find the office to check in. I drove around twice before finding the office. Once you opened the door to the room, the smell of mold hit you in the face. The bathroom mirror had what appeared to be dried blood. They need to invest in a dehumidifier; the smell of mold was strong. Don't ever trust the reviews some people leave.

It was okay for the price. Wi-Fi was shoddy. It would go in and out TV. Didn't have many channel selections and didn't feel like the air conditioning got cold enough. It was just okay

It was convenient to the beach. Check in was easy. AC worked great! Dirty in the stairwell area. Beds not comfortable. Bed sheets were old and pilled. No hair dryer or shampoo/conditioner. Just 2 small bars of soap. Would not revisit.

Meh bathroom

It wasn't the worst place I've stayed. But the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor, the tub took forever to drain, and the bathroom light took a few minutes to turn on. Also when the vent was turned on in the bathroom, we could smell weed coming from somewhere (speculated the floor above). The walls are very thin so bring earplugs or something.

We should have reserved a handicapped room on first floor. We asked for one when we got there but couldn’t get one. My wife and I both have bad knees and the VERY STEEP STAIRS were hard to manage!

Worst Motel/Hotel we have ever stayed at. Walls are thin and could hear every noise, and people just talking. We couldnt go to sleep until 3am due to all of the LOUD noise. Management not concerned. We arrived and Police were there investigating a crime, should have turned around and run. Dirty towels, Broken smoke detector.

The water pressure was really bad, floors needed to be mopped, but the staff was very lovely and it was quiet and conveniently located.
