You get what you pay for (bed, shower/toilet) and small room. The staff were extremely polite & helpful. Security gate made our stay feel safe. Close to Fannie Bay restaurants & Parap markets which was handy. Comfy bed & clean sheets. Shower was old & stained but clean. Thanks for fitting us in at last minute.

Friendly staff, but property was old and not well maintained. Springs poked through the mattress, and my wife got some bites whilst sitting on the small chair in the room. Good location, close to beach and Yacht club. Overall, would not recommend it.

Showed up they weren't even there, called the manager, waited 15 mins for them to show. There was broken cars and sketchy people hanging around. I didn't feel safe. I chose to not confim my check in because I felt Unsafe as a solo traveling woman in my 20s(either I was unsafe or my car was going to get stolen). The manager promised me Expedia would reimburse since the confirmation was pending and i decided to not stay there due to self preservation. Expedia still hasnt reimbursed.
