After prepayment for the stay, my card was charged an additional $196 - security+ resort fee. Should have known about that. Internet was non-existent. Place was run down. Elevator was spotty. Sometimes it got to our floor, sometimes it took several tries

It’s wasn’t terrible but you get what you pay for I guess? Lol we couldn’t close the door for the balcony, the AC leaked and the carpet was always wet other than that not bad. Like I said you get what you pay for.

Was told when booking I would pay only 15.82 at the hotel, wrong ended up paying 65.00 50.00 unexpectedly for a security deposit that would be returned to me after check out, haven’t received my 50.00 back .

I don't understand all the negative reviews, but to each they're own. My room (606) was clean, and efficient. A full size refrigerator, microwave and mini stove with an oven. They even had silverware, cups, plates, pots and pans and dish detergent. The bathroom was well stocked too. The only complaint I have is that the people in the room over was smoking pot on the balcony and it was wafting onto mine. I text the number the hotel sent me if any problems came up and they were gone the next morning. People just want to complain to complain. You are at a BEACH FRONT hotel, if you want absolute pristine conditions, then stay inland, because this hotel is definitely not for you.

We were visiting our daughter so the location was important. We found that having a kitchenette was wonderful since we didn’t have a car. The kitchenette was a little outdated and the bathroom didn’t have a lot of space to put toiletries. We would stay here again the next time we visit.

Room was ok for a one night stay. Typical hotel. Had a good beach view from the balcony. But door to balcony would not stay closed ,toilet wouldn't flush properly and mini fridge didnt work. Also charged a resort fee when we checked in... and a refundable damage deposit.. hope it gets refunded...

Location, location, location! You can walk out the back of the hotel and straight onto the beach. While the bed was good, as was the bathroom/shower, the room was desperately in need of refurbishment. However everything was just functional and when combined with the low cost we paid it was worth it for the location.

Fair price..staff was fine...they say the hotel is about to be upgraded and it needs it. the carpet in room is very tacky and dirty. The bottom of my feet got very dirty just walking around...may be the cleaning chemicals staying in the fiber. There is an older lady that works the front desk that is really great. I wake early and go walk...she reports an hour early off the clock to clean lobby...make coffee and get her paperwork done before her day starts.....old school...don't find that much anymore.
