You get exactly what you pay for. It wasn’t “clean clean”, but for $60 a night with a seawall view, we will be returning. The family staff was very friendly and we felt safe. Thank you so much!

If it wasn't for the ocean view I would have asked for a refund. The room was very dirty, toilet, bathroom and floors. Beds and towels were clean. Staff was nice. For 100$ I was very disappointed to have to clean it up! They need better housekeeping!

Room was very out dated... First room they offered had roaches. So they offered another room which we ended up staying because we weren't able to find another room such short notice with Mardi Gras going on. The second room was 2 beds. They only offered a set of towels when 2 people were and TV didn't work staying

Not knowing the area, I didn’t know the hotel was between a tavern on one side and a liquor store on the other side and it was Mardi Gras. My door wouldn’t close, the staff did come to try to fix it but could not and so I was moved to another room. The TV was difficult to get going and had to call staff for that. The lighting was poor. Outlets were not near my bed so I had to get an extension cord to plug my CPAP in. It was a noisy area. The space between the toilet and shower was so cramped I could barely get on the toilet. The light switches were in very illogical places, sometimes high up and out of the way. Some towels were threadbare. No complimentary little bottles of shampoo or conditioner. It was bare bones. In general the motel needed major repairs and upgrades. They just get business because they are very near the water. The price was okay compared to others in the area but I would say it would be worth paying $50 more to stay at a better place. I called the staff on call 5 times and I will give him credit for responding and in a friendly manner trying to resolve issues.

I have stayed at this hotel before with no problems but last night was horrible because it wasn’t until late last night that I discovered that I was in the roach motel. It was so horrible, I called the office and nobody answered. So I sent a text message, again no response. I will not be back for awhile , hopefully they will fix the problem and exterminate.
