Was sent to Rm 204 had roaches ac broke and refrigerator making noise. Moved to arm 216 with the baby roaches. Asked them to spray. Later she said they wouldn’t come until morning. We left. While checking out to get refund, “Summer” was rude and didn’t even apologize for the conditions or our trouble. Never again !!!

Everything was good especially loved that the rooms had a fridge, cabinets, dishwasher, microwave and a little stove was very convenient. The hotel had complimentary washers and dryers as well which was also great. The location was nice as well there was plenty of stores / food places around and the beach was only about 5 minutes away.

Initially when coming to check in the employee at the desk was in pajamas and literally limping to the counter. She seemed very sick. That’s whatever. I understand you gotta get a paycheck. She then informed me that the elevators were down. If I had been informed this I would have chose somewhere else. We were on the 4th floor with lots of luggage. When we reached the 4th floor there was a foul smell in the hallway. The room itself was nice. I was under the impression there would be a couch but there was not.

The check in and out process was very pleasant as I enjoyed my all of my interactions with the staff. However, the hotel as a whole, including my room, felt a little run down and dirty. A little TLC could go a long way here.
