The ceiling need repair, it’s falling apart. The towels were brown and dirty looking. The tub were old and rusty. The floor was very dusty. The tv did not work at all and was a 13in tube tv. I was given another room my second day, it was cleaner, towel was a bit cleaner, tv was nearly worked meaning the channels were distorted/blurry. The tub was old. The hotel needs a complete refurbishing. It should not be opened to guest. The staff was friendly. No I would never stay there again or recommended it.

in this hotel pretty but enormously damaged which is a shame you will find absolutely nothing staff, next to the hotel you have a restaurant and that's it. Serious at this restaurant they could help us find taxis or other because in our hotel nobody will help you. We were lucky to have no water in our shower, we had to shower in another room ....

WHAT A STINKING DUMP !!!

This is a fell-apart trash heap in a nowhere section of nowhere. No staff. No anything. Animals crawling on the walls. Vines crawling out of the broken air conditioner. Patio area was filthy. Nothing of any function. After one horrible night I checked out, never to see a refund. This stink hole should be condemned.

What a surprise

Gated venue so it was a shock to be greeting by one person from a small shack that opened the gate. No reception, no check in, just park and here's the key. The bathroom had no towels, no soap, no hot water, was filthy, and the patio doors / screens were off the tracks so you couldn't even get to the patio without totally removing them. The "swimming" area consisted of an ocean inlet that was overwrought with slime and weeds - it looked downright dangerous. The ocean view was the only saving item at the whole place

hotel not suitable for exploring

This hotel is good for a quite getaway but does not have any pool or anything to help make the stay comfortable. Sorta boring with nothing around the hotel to do. Had to travel to find anything!

ONLINE FRAUD

The facility was a shambles, the linens were see thru as were the towels. There was no up keep on a once showplace 40 years ago. The area was remote enough and gated. If a Spartan stay is okay this is it.
