Not one or two but 3 roaches found at arrival. There was also a roach in the lighting fixture. There were cob webs, stuff on the walls that should and need to be cleaned. The tub was moldy and gross. They used masking tape to “fix” plumbing. Awful stay. Best part about it was just walking on the beach. Go elsewhere. Don’t stay here.

You get what you pay for

The kitchen was nice to have. View great. Does not look like pictures in Hotels.The pillows looked nice but were flat. TV was old and hard to watch. Fire alarm works. It went off at 3 am and took 30 minutes to turn off. Shower needs work. So glad we went in "off" season. Would be irritated to pay more than 100 a night.

The woman who checked me in was nice and helpful, and parking was free, which is always a plus. The problems started once we got to the room. The floor was slimy and sandy—some sand is understandable since the property is on the beach, but the entire floor felt dirty. It was also warped, almost like it was ready to fall through. On top of that, 2 out of 3 of the complimentary shower bottles were completely empty. The bed was comfortable enough to get some rest, but the A/C system was strange and didn’t seem to work properly. After several minutes of fiddling with it, I finally got the fan to blow and cool the room down slightly, but it never actually got cold. The worst part came when the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. I jumped out of bed, woke my wife, told her to grab our 7-month-old, and rushed outside, other people were outside panicking. At the office, there was no staff at the front desk or anywhere on the property. Even after the fire department arrived, inspected the building, and shut the alarm off, staff were still nowhere to be found—even though the front desk was lit up and open. I was shocked there was no one on duty to handle this situation. If it had been a real emergency, the outcome could have been far worse. Thankfully, it was only a false alarm, but overall this was a very disappointing and unsettling stay.

My room was disgusting. Stains on the pillows and sheets. Smelled putrid of mold, mildew, and dirty mop water. Saw the dried dirt trails on the floor from what I would assume was mopping. A dead roach in the tub indicating it wasn’t even cleaned or looked at. Mold and very rusty around toilet and tub. Did not look like the pictures at all. I checked in at 4pm and was gone by 4:30. I refused to shower or lay my head down in that nasty room. I called front desk to ask for a room change, they insisted on housekeeping to come clean, but I didn’t even wait long for housekeeping. The room was too stank to just stay in so I returned my keys. The end.

Great location, alot to see within walking distance. Beach is great, very little waves and water was clear. Pool was good for both adults and kids. Tiki bar was cute. Drinks were good and fried pickles were good as well. Front desk was very helpful. All in all it's a good place for the price and it has everything you need, just needs a little TLC. Will definitely be visiting again before year ends.

Wow the pics were very misleading and this property is very mis-managed I did my research and the reviews are spot on, but I wanted a walk out room on the beach. Property has good bones and with a minimum Investment and re-training of staff it's the "Hospitality" industry people but John was great at check in ( he would be my front desk manager) my wife and I agreed the property could Really make huge advancements with a soft Reno IE paint, greenery, flower planters etc. house keeping and pool ( we're terribly dis organized ) The owners The side Hotel group should be ashamed of the product they roll out to the public
