Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Honestly all I wanted to say was WOW because we will never stay here again. The room was falling apart. There were holes in the walls. There was a tissue shoved into the peep hole of the door because it was just a hole. There was a large gap at the bottom of the door so we could hear everything. The shower (if you could even call it a shower) was pathetic. Half of the outlets did not work. Just do yourself a favor and stay away.
Photos of room booked looked good. However, actual room (incl bedspreads, wall,…) looked old and dirty. Room had bad smell too. Listing said in-room crib available. Staff said none.
Concierge had a horrible attitude when I arrived, windows would not lock when they were open as I got there, extremely noisy

The room I stayed in needed work. Bathroom door look like someone was trying to break it down, rust on the wall by the bath tub. No iron, hair dryer didn’t work
Loved the proximity to the beach and the second floor deck outside the room. Could use another table and chairs for more to enjoy the large space. Can open the back window in the bath to let in the fresh, salt air. Place is older but well maintained. Pet-friendly.
Not a place to feel safe! Was close area to where I needed to be in the morning. Was close to everything of convenience yet property is a run down renovation and the clientele made one question the stay.
There were cockroaches everywhere. And I asked if I could get refunded my room for the other nights and he said he wouldn’t be able to do it. I even tried compromising by saying I’ll pay for the night I stayed but the other ones I would look elsewhere to stay. He still refused. He offered me another room but. Cmon now.
Not sure what the negative reviews are about. Yes it’s get what you pay for; but the hotel staff was extremely friendly. The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. We felt safe. Yes it’s loud, it’s right next to a highway, so that’s a given. There were no cockroaches. Everything worked. I booked here anyways despite the negative reviews. I will absolutely stay here again. This is the first time I’ve taken the time to do a review, simply because this hotel does not deserve the few bad reviews it does have, which are likely due to salty passive aggressive customers not getting their way. Not bad at all for the price. I’ve stayed in far more expensive brand hotels and had horrible experiences.

I disliked the loud people and the fighting that goes on , that I can hear through the paper thin walls. It kept me up all night.

Room was clean, bed was Ok, but furniture was worn. Coffee maker was non-functioning. I had to struggle to get out of the bathroom because the door fit so poorly it was very difficult to open. A dim and flickering fluorescent light over a little vanity shelf stayed on 24/7 because the switch by the entrance was broken: It looked like it had been for a long time. Noisy neighbors talked until 1:00 a.m. However, the price was not too bad for the area and the woman on checking in was very friendly. Avoid room 105 and you might have a better experience.
