The staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean. We had two rooms. One room had an A/C problem. It didn't work. Maintenance came and fixed the problem. The shower in that room did not work either. We were forced to take a bath. We reported it but it didn't get fixed. The other room had mold around the tub which we didn't get around to reporting. The hotel is old and not fancy, but it was generally clean and we thought it had a lot of character. We would stay there again.

The hotel was very dated, which I expected going in for the price. The issue I had was when we arrived, there were bags of trash piled around the doorway outside. One of the beds had a giant, round, wet pee looking stain on the comforter that soaked thru to the mattress. The room was damp and had water puddled in the floor. The front desk staff that helped me leave immediately was helpful and friendly. The girl who checked us in, not so much.

Do not stay here . Expedia should not offer this property. Where to start? It’s run down and old. Trash everywhere on outside of property. The room was dirty, sheets were stained and there are wires going everywhere to hook up electronics . Outside there is trash everywhere, the pool was nasty, and the pool chair cushions were dirty and stained. I was scared to stay there and did not feel safe. It was an awful experience . I wish Expedia the owner of property would contact me. Not the manager of the property . No help

The room was clean and bigger than I expected. The only issues I had was the noise from people walking around and talking outside and the room we got had a kitchen with no cooking utensils. There was regular silverware and a skillet and a strainer but nothing to actually cook with.

I’ll start by saying this hotel is in a great location with amazing beach access. This is a great place for couples or someone just getting away for a few days. We did encounter problems along the way. Check in is at 4, we were informed that our room was “not available” and the front desk acted as if we didn’t have a room at all. When trying to get information, he was not clear and almost avoided any questions. We were finally able to check in 2 hours later. The room was poor. Patchwork on the walls that had not been repainted, it smelled awful (almost like sewage and mildew), water pressure was horrible and the shower was questionable. Also the room needed to be dusted. Also, be aware there are no elevators- so toting luggage up and down is not fun. One of our friends actually fell. Three times, the water was also shut off due to an “emergency.” Overall, it was okay. It was fine for sleeping, but could definitely use some upgrades.
