No refridge in room,was put in room next day after prompts to staff. Wi-fi a problem to connect to, had to ask staff for help and finally someone got it done. Language - difficult to understand some staff.

Small but Quaint
This HoJo lite was centrally located and provide a good place to sleep. No work out room, no pool, but beach and shopping is 15 min away. Continental breakfast was a bust; make plans to hit a local spot. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The rooms were small but clean and as usual the TV had 57 channels but nothing on. So if you go to the beach to hit the gym, pool or watch TV, find another place, if you are looking for a quite place to sleep - HoJo Lite is your place.

The wrong hotel was NOT in a very nice area, I would never had stayed there even if it was the right location. It smelled awful. Horrible stench of cigarette smoke and god knows what else.

Extremely basic
Friendly people at front desk. Room was pretty small and old. Kitchenette is not what expected. Restroom cleanup needs to improve.

Would NOT recommend!
Not a good place to stay. Location is central, but that's it. The box spring on my bed had tape on the side of it, there were hairs in the bath tub, no pool, etc. I only put up with it because it was a package deal. It did no make my trip enjoyable. The place needs to be completely redone. The staff that checked me in was nice, but the hotel is horribly out of date.
