In all honesty, this is probably the worst hotel I’ve ever seen in my life. My family and I are pretty easy-going. We don’t usually judge too harshly of the places that we stay as long as we’ve got clean beds clean bathrooms we’re good.. this place was completely disgusting. It was dirty, moldy, and everything inside was pretty rusty. There was mildew on the pillows and the walls. The bathroom shower floor was black.

This is where we stay the night before a cruise. It’s close and convenient. It’s an older “Motel” that has been semi remodeled repainted whatever you wanna call it. The sheets were clean the floors and sinks and bathrooms were clean and it’s an exceptional right for the night.

barebone lodging option, good bang for the buck. Convenient location to the ocean and just 20 min walk to cruise terminals (we ended up hailing a uber anyway but definitely walkable for the energetics). To the east of the hotel, there are several wallet-friendly dining options, we enjoyed the little family Italian pizza place, apparently it is also a favorite among the locals.

Door handle to our room was not adjusted or installed wrong because it only worked some of the time. Person behind the counter seemed irritated that I was disturbing her during check in. Best thing about this location was the proximity to the beach.
