The beach view was great! Pool area was nice and clean. We just stayed one night so we didn’t utilize any of the amenities. I picked this just because of the price. It definitely needs updated. Painted. New mattress. If you are picky on little details this place is not for you. If you are not there for the room and like a friendly budget I would recommend. Staff was very friendly. Great location

There was soggy carpet under the AC that soaked thru my socks. No TV remote so TV was unusable. No soap, shampoo, or conditioner. Toilet roll was empty. Couldn't get out the room soon enough.

Hotel checked me in late. Only allowed on line registration for my room after arriving their early. checked me in after 5:00PM.. Room had 1 small bar of soap for 3 people. There was a roach in the bathroom, and after requesting a 1 hour late check out, I was denied. Even after explaining that I had a zoom meeting that would be over at 11:00AM.
1 of 2 live roaches in the bathroom.

Good location with a great view. The room is nothing fancy but worth the price. You get what you pay for. Booked for one night until our house was available. Decent water pressure. Minor cosmetic issues but if your looking for a cheap place to stay for a short period of time would definitely recommend. Beds need an upgrade. But wasn’t horrible. Again, you get what u pay for so I didn’t go in with high expectations.

The staff were very rude and not helpful for the most part. The property is outdated and needs upgrading, parking is not convenient and the beds were very thin and uncomfortable. The Tiki Bar was closed due to lack of staffing. The best part of our trip was the outside pool area. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
