I arrived at the hotel at 2:20pm on Wednesday Sept 10, 2025. The front desk lady told me I could not check until 4 PM. I asked why? she said because they have not inspect the clean. I walked around the hotel and looked through the windows, and there was a lot of rooms cleaned. It should take about five minutes or less to inspect a room. I need a refund for this terrible experience.

Great price for the area. Beds were small, but comfortable. For an older facility it was in decent shape, however the floor was a little slimy due to humidity and no bathroom vent. Breakfast was a snack at best.

Front desk guy was not friendly- first room key did not work- I asked for a room with a view and got a first story non- view room but was too tired to go back to office to request different room again.

Pass this one, mold, gross

There was black mold in the shower and it is so small it’s not meant for more than 1 person! There was 13 in between the bed and the fridge. Thanks so much for ruining my no shower vacation.

Good Bargain

Clerk wasn’t welcoming but room was clean and well redone although it needed outside paint. Across from beach and convenient to restaurants. Meager breakfast but good coffee. Nice small pool out front but an outside shower would cut down on sand in pool and rooms. AC was good. Bargain for the price.

Should of camped

We arrived and were greeted by a rude receptionist. Got to our room and toile was clogged. Never fixed. Wouldn’t change our room. No daily cleaning or restocking of towels. When I went to the front desk for clean towels they hastily gave me two. There are four people in the room. Location is amazing.
