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.

The area was unsafe, there was blood on the lamp shade, feces on the walls. The air didn’t work and the toilet wouldn’t flush. The floors had holes in them. There was people everywhere just hanging out in stairways and on front sidewalks by the room doors. Had sign up that says not responsible for stolen items from your car park at your own risk. This was the most disgusting, dangerous, and dirty place I’ve ever stayed at. We ended up leaving and getting a room somewhere else.

4 years I been booking with them when we enter the room there was sand on the floor. Microwave was filthy mold in the bathroom, roaches, crawling everywhere holes in the wall. When I called the front desk they didn’t even offer to change their room the last day they offered it if I were you guys take that hotel off your site zero rating for the hotel.Oh one more thing the ceiling in the bathroom came down in the shower they tried to fix it 3 times the manager does not know what she’s doing at the hotel.. She told me I was gonna get refunded for one night in 5 to 10 minutes. I should see it now she’s texting me. Tell me 5 to 10 minutes. Was that true? It should take 10 to 15 days. They should be paying me to stay at that hotel. I can send you pictures if you like take them off your site have the people that we were talking to by the pool said the same thing then never coming back there. My vacation was supposed to relaxing for me No Stress but that didn’t happen I was cleaning and they all the time that’s not a vacation I just Hope I don’t bring a roach home!!! Debra Rosconi if you need to reach out my phone number is 917 773-6479 Thank You Like I said I wouldn’t even put them on the site Manager should Refund Me my whole trip with them Not one nite
