Okay for one night- but very small- Entry way to bathroom very narrow . The picture was misleading - thought we had a porch but our unit was on the side - with no porch . Also , could use a “chair” in the room . But nice to see the room updated and lobby area. We have stayed there many years ago I also thought it was “free parking” when I booked but it was not . I will give it a try again but in a cabana - not where we stayed

Rooms are very small. Infested with ants parking is very tight. But other than that we enjoyed our stay wouldn’t recommend if you have a big family.

This place was great. The only negative thing would be the room and bathroom was a little to small for my liking. Could have had a little more room. Other then that id recommend to others to stay here

Location was great… room was full of sand (to include the bed) and we did t go to the beach. So that was annoying… but understandable due to location.

Commander hotel

Check in was super easy. Staff were very nice and friendly. Room was very small, but clean. Was expecting the room to be bigger judging by the pictures. 2 full size beds and a small dresser. Would have been nice to have a chair or table. Bathroom was nice and large. About half the size of the room. All in all it was a good place to stay. We lucked out and had great weather for the entire stay, so we only used the room to sleep. The pool was great and was very clean, but we were disappointed that it was only open from 10am to 6pm. It's not like they had lifeguards there

Smelly, unsanitary, better to sleep in your car!!!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience. From the moment I walked into the room, I was hit with a strong musty odor that never went away. The floor was dirty and clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned—walking barefoot wasn’t an option. To make matters worse, there were small bugs crawling around, which made it very hard to relax. The room itself was extremely cramped, with barely enough space to move around. The air conditioning system was outdated and struggled to cool the room, making the humidity and odor even worse. The bathroom had a lingering unpleasant smell that seemed to come from poor ventilation or plumbing issues. Basic amenities were also lacking. There was no coffee maker, no closet, and not even a single clothes hanger, which made unpacking and settling in inconvenient. For the price, I expected at least the bare minimum comfort and cleanliness, but this fell far short. I wouldn’t stay here again, and I can’t recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable or hygienic stay. Plenty of better options out there.

Had ants in the room which get into our food within the first 3 hours we were in the room. Was moved down the hall in the same building even after voicing concerns because of our newborn being on vacation with us and was only compensated for the food that was lost and nothing else.
