Outside looked run down & parking lot was awful & bikes laying in walkways. After putting our suitcase in the room, we immediately left for the beach. When we got back the key wouldn't work in the door, the receptionist/ housecleaning ranked of alcohol tried using her key, then a owner finely got it opened after trying several different keys & told us to leave it opened if we go back out & he'd have someone fix it. We said not with our stuff in there, so he immediately tried giving us the room next door, which the door wasn't locked & key didn't work after we locked it. Which made us to think the other door was unlocked too when we first went in & they didn't know what key goes to what. After I grabbed our suitcase, we looked the room over, then told him we wanted a refund, because that room was nasty & we felt unsafe. ( BLOOD SPOTS ON BATHROOM WALL & MOLD AROUND TUB.

The whole hotel was dirty! There was no phone in the room.The sheets had holes in them. There were two towels in the room One of them had mildew all at the bottom of it The second one look like it didn't even belong in the hotel. The shower curtain has so much mildew in it on it I was scared to take a shower. My overall experience was horrible and I should receive some kind of discount on my next stay at another location.

Awful place

Our room wasn’t ready, there were no towels, it was dirty, when we checked the beds they were awful, stains on the sheets and blankets, one had a large blood stain on it they just put 2 sheets on top of it, the owners and the workers were having large loud fights outside, there were roaches, the air conditioner didn’t work it was so HOT! You can’t get help from anyone. Awful experience and we were charged quadruple of what that room usually goes for! Not worth $720 dollars VERY UNSATISFACTORY!

This place should be torn down and rebuilt. When I checked in I had to wait and then the guy checked us in while eating. Go to the room and there were stains on the covers. Towels were off white and still dirty. Roaches were crawling in the tub. Water bugs. This place is deplorable. DO NOT STAY HERE. The pictures are FALSE ADVERTISING
