    Almost everything.

    The toilet was stained with feces, splatters on the wall. The shower head hangs down broken, water dribbles out. Tv didn’t work and staff gave me a remote and said “it’s probably not gonna work). I don’t have towels and he was irritated with me and said it’s too late to ask for towels but gave me a beach towel. People tried to get into my room at night. Very noisy, banging on walls and ceiling. Bugs in the bathroom, burn marks on sheets, long pink hair in my bed so I’m guessing they didn’t wash the bedding. I slept on my towel.

    The aircon is freezing cold & centralized. They don't clean the rooms unless you request, they came on day 3. Noise from tenants upstairs. Don't give water or any tea/coffee in rooms.

    The only plus is that it's next to the beach

    How trash the room was. The room I picked said newly renovated and everything was dusty and the lighting was terrible.

    Not too far from the action and not too close to the craziness.

    When I came to check in I had to wait 10 minutes for a receptionist to check me in. Then I handed my id to the receptionist and he automatically said no to me without even looking at my id. He then said to me because I handed my id to him sideways he thought I wad under 21 which I wasn’t. He proceeded with an attitude. My hotel had no towels or rags no soap. There was no where to turn off the air conditioner so it was freezing and the sheets were really thin so it wasn’t keeping me warm at night it was uncomfortable and the walls are very thin you can hear every little thing in the hallways

    When arriving to the motel we checked in and was given a room on the second floor, when going to get our bags and coming back to go in the room the room was full of other people’s trash, bed wasn’t made or nothing basically just looked like someone else was staying in there. Then we went back down and told the manager this and then he just casually sent us to another room on the 3rd floor went to this room and there was a lady literally in the room. Ofc went back down to the manager her proceeds to tell us that he just doesn’t have a room available as if we hadn’t booked this around 7am that morning and he couldn’t have just called us and let us know and then right before we came back down from the second room he checked in another couple to a room so he gave a room out before he made sure that we were in one. Ended up not getting a room and being late to all our plans

    curtains did not block light from street, there were several nails behind the night table this means they did not clean the room properly before my arrival. I stayed there 7 years ago and had bath amenities and towels. I was surprised to receive a toillet paper at least. The guy during check in had a very serious face, when I asked him If he was having a bad day, he changed his attitude. :)

    comofortable bed, very good location a few steps from beach, mini fridge, I enjoyed the TV entertaiment and fridge, since there is a pharmacy near you can buy refreshments and keep them cold.

    Beds were old hard and squeaky, arrived to our window wide open and no bug screen also didn't lock, no chance was I showering in that decrepit tub, staff was miserable, parking pretty much non existent and the parking garage across the street crazy expensive. Elevator although quirky and eccentric was from the stone age and alternate choice of walking up the stairs is a hazzard as each step is a different height. It worked for one night layover but wouldn't choose to stay here more than one night.

    The location to the beach was fantastic.

    Shabby as expected, furniture and bath was outdated and seemed on the verge of breaking down. Impatient receptionist.

    It was okay, we feared it would be worse. Possible to bring towels to beach. Good location
