Poor atmosphere overall. Located right next to main strip . Excessive noise throughout the night to include cars racing up and down the street. Staff was less than accommodating after calling me to ask what time I would be arriving, which I found very odd. Would not recommend staying here to anyone. Beds are uncomfortable, noise is excessive and rooms are extremely small. We will not be staying here again. Waste of money , just for an overnight stay . Very disappointed

A nice adorable place to just take a getaway. But definitely could use a better cleaning after walking on the floor your feet will be brown 😞 and the ac did not work and no one was in the office to reach them but other than that we did enjoy it

I liked the proximity to the beach. The AC worked well. The water flow in the bathroom sink was slow. I won't criticize the housekeeping staffperson who was on duty when we arrived and working on Monday because she is elderly and a strong language barrier exists. She clearly wanted to give good service. Perhaps I assumed there would be clean towels brought daily but that wasn't included in the services. She came and changed the bed linens very quickly the day we asked. We would stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room barely acceptable. Door had been kicked and bent and had a gap that a snake or bugs could get in. Very poor state of repair. The toilet paper holder was hanging off the wall. Beds so squeaky hard to sleep. Tv remotes.. yes one that changed volume and the other to change channels. barely worked if you got up and got within 5 ft of the tv. No cleaning services, as would be expected in any hotel. We had to go to the office to get fresh towels. We asked about someone cleaning the room and they literally handed my wife a broom. For 180 a night we certainly expected more. They did have a kitchenette but no pots and pans.

We had a non-smoking room and there were cigarette burns in the blankets on our beds. We had to ask for extra blankets and complained about the noise level. The refrigerator door didn’t have a handle. We got the kitchenette but there were no pans. The sheets on the beds were dirty. The kitchen was dirty and the lamps were filthy.

Great location and price but take lysol

Hotel location and size was ideal. Great pool and family business and they provide delicious juice, water, however the rooms were not very clean and the older family member threatened to call the police because my 5yr old granddaughter tried to go to their pool after we checked out and were packing our vehicles.
