Four walls and a bed👎👎

The hotel is in the middle of a renovation but even with that the rooms are extremely outdated and the grounds need a lot of maintenance and repairs. Restrooms have horrible water pressure and the towels might as while been paper towels Overall I would not recommend staying here to anybody if you have a choice

The staff was very courteous even helped my nieces with their bags as they were struggling to get them up the stairs. No elevator and the stairs are extremely old cement with sharp edges. The entire building is old, hallway rug is dirty and stained. The property is poorly kept and needs some remodeling. No coffee maker in the room, only provided with one pillow per person and no blankets. I was cold all night. The water in the shower kept changing temperatures in the middle of showering from extremely hot to cold.

For the price, it was okay. They should have disclosed that they are doing major construction now, including removing the roof. I also didn't notice it was pet-friendly, so it sounds like you're staying in a dog kennel. I'm sure this is a plus if you are traveling with dogs.

Raccoon and vending machine

Little run down, looks like they were doing renovations… wife and I were fat a$$es and raided the vending machine at 2am which was nice… room had holes in the wall and paint scratched off… saw a raccoon outside the window of our hotel room at 5am… tried catching it, raccoon ran into the bushes. I still think about that raccoon, also the room had Star Wars playing on TV, so my lady put it on to entertain me while her personal trainer drove up here to take her on a workout on the beach, her personal trainer really cares about her fitness
