Was looking for a room last minute booked this room based off pictures hotels provided when we got there. The room was not as shown not only were the sheets dirty. The property was dirty as well. It looked like they were attempting to pressure wash the hallways where the rooms were but in doing so had took the paint off of the ground and swept it over the railing, allowing you to hit all the cars that were parked below, including ours! I told them I would not be staying in these conditions and I would like a refund. They told me that they cannot do that because we booked the third-party and would have to reach out to that third-party. We asked them for paperwork saying that we did not stay due to the conditions of the room they provided it when hotels reached out they denied our refund. Do not stay here and I won’t be booking anything on this website either since they don’t care about their customers!
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! The pictures are not the reality. There was wet towels underneath the AC unit and there was a small roaches and a used women’s bathing suite in the room.
Room had a hole in the bottom of the door. Pocket door in bathroom would not close. No towel bars in bathroom. Could not speak to housekeeping because they did not speak English. The hotel is in the process of doing a remodel, but has a long way to go.
Everything in the room was breaking down and looked crazy. No right in shower(using lamp) bed furniture not stable, dirty, but was okay for a night stay.
The best part about the stay was the beds. They were very comfortable. The staff was very nice as well. You can tell that the hotel is a little run down. Boards were loose. The room had hard wood which i loved. I cant stand carpet. I misread the pool closing time. It closes at 7:30 to me thats a little early but i understand because the beach is close by. I didnt like our neighbors above us. I have small children and they sat on their outside area and smoked weed. I found that very disrespectful. This hotel is good for a quick night stay.
Very old hotel...towels did not look or even feel clean.
Light fixture fell out of the ceiling when the front door was shut. A light fixture or smoke alarm was missing from one of the interior walls...bare wires exposed...not even taped off. AC and internet worked OK. Overall...not a very nice place.

Travelled with family and small children, Business traveller
Full of junkies and homeless. I pulled in and there was literally a dumpster fire in the back of the place. No bedside lamps. No charging ports. Vanity light does not work. Cockroach under the pillow. I came here because it’s not far from my home and I needed to be away for the night for safety. Not feeling very safe. Stay far away.
