An Obanion couple getaway

The stay was great, the only downfall is the water did not get hot when showering but everything else was awesome. The building itself is outdated but the rooms were in good shape. For the price can't complain plus the location was great too!

The room was clean enough and spacious but had a strange odor. This gave the feeling of it being dirty. It was not relaxing. The staff was nice enough but seemed limited - we had to go several times to get linens they had left out of our room.

Overall, the stay was great. Room was clean, staff was friendly, provided things when asked in a timely manner. The only thing I could say that could be worked on his some overall building updating in try to make the room smell more fresh.

Low cost, low expectations

The rooms are spacious and overall not terrible, it’s just an old building. The AC was loud and the room was either cold or hot. This is fine for a budget friendly vacation but don’t expect much.

Don't book here. They may not honor your reservati

We booked a room a month before the date. Drove 15 hours to find out our room was unavailable. Was offered a room of less value at same price. Ended up staying at another hotel with nicer rooms for less money. We have stayed here many times before. 2nd time our room was not available.

Amazing for the price.

This was a wonderful place to stay. When you can see that a place is older, you wonder if the pictures will match reality and they absolutely did. I still can’t believe that I was able to get a room with a beach walkout at such an affordable price. The pool was heated and well maintained and there was plenty of room for a relaxing walk on the beach. We certainly hope to stay here again.
