This is a great low budget hotel for anyone who is just trying to sleep nights in their room and enjoy the rest of their day at the beach close by! Overall not a bad location! A little extra sanitizing on your part and you’ll feel like home! Nice pool as well.

we had a lot of fun staying here. it’s really close to a lot of fun activities. it was nice being in walking distance from a few restaurants and a bar. the place is definitely not the cleanest, but it’s good for the price. it’s definitely a party hotel as there was a pool table, foosball, twister and some beer pong, but me and my boyfriend are in our 20s so it was great for us. the staff was great and i love that there is a convince store in the office! we would definitely stay here again.

Not what we reserved at all. Floors were dirty . Could've stayed somewhere else for the same price. Lots of people partying that was not staying there so we could not park our car.

Very simple room for a terrific price. Across the street from large hotel, so short walk to public beach access and maybe 6-7 minutes to the pier. Next door to Pour, an amazing coffee shop. Weak WiFi signal from inside room.

Room is so small and the whole area of the property seems like it was already condemned. The photos are so misleading. I felt unsafe and disgusted. First room had a fire ant infestation. So I moved a room. Second room had roaches. So I got a full refund thankfully and left. Only upside was the staff was friendly and kind and prompt to give me a refund and work with me to change rooms when I first did that. Not even worth adding photos. Just don’t stay there.

I will say that the people up front were very nice and kind when I did check in and check out. When I first arrived, i honestly had no clue where I was going when my map told me that the hotel was right in front of me so when I walked in, I thought it was a small gas station store only to realize it was my hotel since I saw the logo. Got checked in, went to go find my room and the outside didn’t look like any of the photos I saw online. Not going to lie, was kind of scared. Got to my room, it was decent so I won’t complain about that, just wish I had a blanket to sleep with because there was only a sheet.
I will say, the second night I stayed there, there was a fight right outside my room and there was a lot of yelling and someone hit my door at 2 in the morning and the yelling didn’t stop for 20 minutes. It was a good thing I was leaving the next morning to head home.

The lady that checked me in was great & as I was traveling on a motor-scooter allowed my to bring my bike close to the room. This is an amazing hotel for an even better price. Near the ocean, area is a bit sketchy but didn’t have any issues as a single woman. I love that it has the old-Florida vacation vibe (high-end hotels have their perks, but I’d rather have a laid back- simple Florida hotel any day.
