Don't stay here! Read to see why...

Don't stay here! We booked online and arrived at Reception a few hours later only to decide NOT to stay based on: its dirty (must sign a bed bug waiver); the rooms are not on the beach (2 blocks away); a "lady of the night" was out front trying to book a room/borrow a phone; there were fees that were not disclosed on the booking app; we were not allowed to speak with a manager when we asked to; etc. We have stayed in some pretty rough places but this was too much and we decided to lose the money rather than stay here. You have been warned! (Also, they tried to convince us to upgrade to the beachfront 3-bedroom house for an additional fee, which we also declined).

It was fine if you just want to sleep. No A/C which you don’t necessarily need. No fridge which I did need. Overall, it was fine to simply sleep there.

Just... manage your expectations. It's not a "nice" place, but it's alright. It was sufficiently clean and comfortable; but it's just an old place that needs some maintenence and updating I guess. Staff was very nice! I'm not sure it's worth $200 a night... I'm in not sure if we will stay again. Location is great for walking to several places to eat and the beach though! No AC in the room, so we definitely won't be staying there later in the summer as we were already quite warm in the room no, in April. We were charged an additional $25 for taxes when we checked in.

DO NOT STAY HERE

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience in hopes it helps both future guests and hotel management. While the check-in process was smooth and the staff were funny and polite, the condition of the room was extremely disappointing. From the moment I walked in, it didn’t feel clean and unfortunately, that first impression held true throughout our entire stay. There was visible issues with everything in the room and outdated and corroded and extreme rust on many surfaces, and it was clear there hadn’t been any meaningful upkeep in quite some time. The shower was particularly unsettling—it looked and felt unhygienic, and I didn’t feel comfortable using it. The towels were old, stained, and did not smell fresh, and the pillows were old and lacked any sense of comfort. Fixtures throughout the room were disgusting and that is being nice - the painting had a nail through it, we were given one plastic hanger, of the 6+ outlets in the room, only one was able to charge our iPhones. The sink was disgusting and so were the drawers Cleanliness is such a basic expectation for any hotel stay, and sadly, this missed the mark entirely. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements—this hotel has potential, but without proper care, it’s hard to recommend.

The room was dirty, most things were broken and several bugs were found in my bag upon returning home. I would never stay here again for love nor money. The only positive side of this stay was the staff and leaving.

Great job by the front desk employee. I believe her name was Jessica but not sure. She gave me some of her own flowers as I was celebrating an anniversary.
