Looks like a horror movie

My husband didnt look at reviews we should have, he just saw the 160 and it was better than the 200 and 300 feom anywhere else we saw. So, The outside looked bad, but sometimes it can be good inside so we proceeded, the elevador was small and scary, the hallway reminded us of one of those horror hotel games also saw a roach in the hallway, when we got to our room it was not as pictured. There was a Hole in the corner with some kind of animal hair stuck to it. Could be rats. Noticed roach poop on the windowsill. The sheets had red stains on it, my daughter said it looked like blood. The bathroom was gross. The walls were stuckko up, and there were holes in the floor and the outlits wernt properly covered. There was a dead roach waiting for us inside the doo. I took some pictures for proof, but wanted to hurry and get my family out ASAP so we left right away. The website is false advertising its not even the same building and rooms pictured. I saw another family as we were leaving, the mom said she also saw roaches and was worried but they were not able to turn around and leave they had no where else to go. It lookes like they let the homeless live there, its disgusting. They should be shut down. There are no words. The run down plus the clealiness its scary. Its not even worth a penny to stay there. I get it if its in the middle of no where but this is a tourist place, where families stay. This is NOT SAFE. This is unacceptable. They need to be shut down.

The man checking us in is very rude. We asked for a room change because the AC did not work. Once we changed rooms it got worse, the TV didn’t work, there were holes on the wall, paint chipping, the worst part were the roaches. That was the last straw. We couldn’t stay the night, immediately asked for refund.

They need to remove the picture of the pool! That is one main reason I booked with this hotel. THEY DO NOT HAVE A POOL!!! It's just a larger parking lot. They did have a small breakfast offering, not much to choose from but better than Motel 6. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's a nice, decently priced hotel and for the location! Across the street from a liquor store and gas station. Minutes (by car, walking or scooter) away from Marina Green, and other beaches. Great variety of restaurants in the vicinity.

Good enough

The place was clean, but was average quality. The one ice machine on the first floor, which made it totally inconvenient from the 3rd, wasn’t working. Sheets and bedding were clean, but the bed itself was a one up on a sofa bed. Great water pressure!!! This place will serve its purpose if you’re just fine with a place to take a shower and get some sleep.

THE HOERIBLE TOXIC STRONG ODOR of chemicals, smoke and mold all mixed together is disgusting and does not go away even after being in there for a while. This place feels like sleeping in a tent, absolutely everything is heard, even quieter steps in the hallways. The walls and doors are paper thin. The bed is uncomfortable, pillows old and low quality, same for the thin old blanket. Cleanliness was ok, bathroom is probably the best place in the room. The parking in the back smells so strongly of urine that it’s hard to get in and out of the car. And the front desk treat you like you need a favor from them. The location is central and convenient, but on a sketchy part of the street. I would not stay here again.
