The hotel is very outdated and dirty. Carpets in the room were awful, the ceiling leaked, and the bath tub had putty covering up holes. On a positive note, Staff was very friendly, there were no bugs and the oceanfront view was great! Our stay wasn’t awful, but I won’t be staying again unless it’s updated!

Do not stay here!

Horrible place to stay, no housekeeping offered. Filthy from top to bottom; lobby, rooms and all over the hotel. The only positive thing is that it’s ocean front.

Very unclean and not well kept. Also full payment upfront and attestation that services were delivered required at check in is odd policy. Room keys really hard to work. Only good part is proximity to ocean.

Trick photography at its best

Checked in was inline for a while, then you’re lucky if you can get one of the 15 parking spots otherwise you park across the street. Go up stairs to figure out which key actually opens the door, and you walk into a room that hasn’t been renovated since new. The beds were horrible but the sheets were clean unfortunately the comforters are either stained or have cigarette burns in them. The carpets are disgusting and are stained. No microwave it’s had a stove but looks like a crackhead had already tried stripping some parts off it and telephone was actually ripped out of the wall. And the while smelled of cat piss and cigarettes. But hey it’s next to the beach.
