    I could not watch my TV. The lady at the front desk told me there was no one to check it out for me. It came on but the remote didn't work for that tv. They did not have any Ice and the ac didn't work

    The location was good, but they did not have any Breakfast

    The room was not worth the amount charged. No AC, musky feeling, window was 2x3 ft in size so the room felt like a laundry room.

    Old, outdated. The shower was slow to drain, so it filled with water around your feet. Toilet got clogged and there was no plunger, we got one from the front desk. We had to request more toilet paper and towels. Extremely noisy neighbors in the room next to ours, however, there was no security to call.

    Prime location with free parking. Easy beach access. Family-room was large enough for a family of six. Sheets smelled and looked clean, but some of the towels were old and worn out.

    We booked this room in a pinch, we chose it because it was the cheapest. Small room, tiny bathroom/shower, no ice machine or A/C. The room was extremely dated, stuffy and the floor fan was useless. To change the channel on the tv you literally had to be a couple inches away with the remote, if you wanted to open the windows you had to be ok with moths flying in as there were no screens on some of the windows. The bed was very uncomfortable and the fabric had us itching all night. We opted to sleep in our truck the following night.

    The only good thing I can say about the property is it wasn’t too far from the pier/shops.

    Very disappointed in the room. Smelled nasty. NO AC, so it felt humid. I wish I took more pictures but it was just not what I expected. Restroom was extremely dirty. Those black spots in the shower we’re bugs, looked like fleas because they started jumping around. Huge flies everywhere.

    Towels were awful. Place is pretty run down. It serve my purpose. Came for one night to play beach VB. I knew the place was a dive and I knew what I was paying for.

    Very centrally located. Compared to the other hotels this was the least expensive. I would not recommend it to take your wife/girlfriend.

    It wasn’t untidy, but wasn’t exactly specked to the gunnels. I’d suggest you search for other places if unlike me you have somebody with you, and want something a bit more bang for your buck.

    Well it was situated nice, and for one night it served its purpose…… and for a solo traveller it was fine. that’s about all.
