We had a balcony over looking the gulf. It was a corner room so there was an extra window which was nice. Pool was nice and clean and they have a tiki bar open 10:30-7:00. There’s also Mguires right across the street. You do have to park across the street but not really a big deal. Overall good stay

The doors to the rooms are on the outside of the hotel and open outwards with just a single lock. The doors and frames are very rusty. The bathtub would not drain when the shower was running. The air conditioner kept shutting off. I went to the front desk and said I wanted a refund. The manager said no and he would at least have someone to come and look at the air conditioner. I stayed that night but cancelled my reservation for the following night. When I woke up the next morning the air conditioning was still showing 77 degrees in the room.

The room and entire building was dirty. Elevator didn’t work at all the entire trip the other was down when we arrived, we were on the 6th floor. We were charged a daily “resort” fee. The only thing we got for that was pool towels. No beach chairs as shown in advertisements, those were an extra charge. The staff seemed put out if they were asked any questions, not at all friendly. Would not recommend. It is cheap but you don’t get much.
