Worst hotel!!!

Worst place we’ve ever stayed at. DO NOT STAY HERE!! Very dirty and old peeling furniture. Towels smell like old cooking oil. Listened to fighting all night from the room next door. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Not worth the money. Lack of management. Health Department should pay a visit to them.

I was not happy with the hotel. I will never stay again. The room was so worn down and had mold everywhere. We have stayed here multiple times with no issues. The customer service reps that worked the front counter were not very nice. Also, the mattress in our room was stained and looked really bad. Also, there was water dripping from the restroom ceiling.

The air conditioning was not cooling, all the furniture was old. There was sand on the “clean” floors when we first arrived. The toilet was small. I would never stay there again!! I was embarrassed to take my wife there. It wasn’t cheap either.

NEGATIVE INFINITY STARS

This experience was terrible from the start. The room was dirty and smelled weird. Our tv didn’t even have a power cord. We waited over an hour for one. We were never able to hook up to their Wi-Fi on any of our devices the entire trip. I’m sure the staff there has a scheme going on because the bartender did something weird with my phone when doing tap to pay. She put it in a little cubby for what I felt was way too long, I even commented to my husband about it. Then my iPad came up missing. When I reported this to the hotel they were very nonchalant about it. The beach by the hotel isn’t bad but don’t give these people your money. WORSE EXPERIENCE OF OUR SUMMER HOTEL WISE. NEGATIVE INFINITY STARS.

Toilet from room 128 was leaking we never got clean towels. We had to go to the front desk to collect them. Nobody ever came to clean the room to throw trash. The pool was very cold. We had an old chair that was ripped in our room. The front desk was very nice and helpful.

This property is severely in need of an uplift. The room has stacked up dust on the décor, mildew on the curtains, leaking toilet, and all breeds of roaches come out at night. The best thing about this Hotel was the location. You can literally walk out of the hotel and be on the shore. But, I would not recommend this hotel to a friend or family. I couldn't wait to pack my luggage and go home. Then I had to shake everything off to make sure I didn't bring any roaches home. Killed roaches and saw 2 jumbo roaches outside by the bar. It definitely did not felt relaxed, due to the dirty conditions. We didn't even want coffee from the room coffee pot, it looked dusty and abandoned. Staff service was ok. No smiles, just short answers if you have a question. No extra towels available, restaurant closed due to renovation, so no breakfast. Ice machines were not working and cart for luggage was extremely wobbly and disgustingly stained. Rooms are overpriced for the experience, you just paying for the coinvent location. And you have to pay additional for parking.

The staff gave one of my technicians a key to a room that was already booked. So he walked in at midnight to two people sleeping. Then they did not even want to shower in their room because it was so disgusting. I am requesting a refund.

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.
