Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The mattress was old and stained. The stairwell was filthy. The room had a horrible stench and started to trigger my wife's asthma. The furniture was falling apart. The sofa was frayed and stained. There were ants everywhere outside. There was no elevator to the 2nd floor. They have just slapped on new paint, but it is already falling apart. I believe the stench is a disingenuous attempt to cover up the smell of the building rotting from the inside out.

The facility is showing its age, but doe to its location with limited resources to rebuild, plus the frequent severe weather (hurricanes, coastal weather, etc.) doesn't allow much improvement. It was a decent place to get some rest overnight.

Wedding weekend

Went down for a wedding and needed a place that was pet friendly & had a pool. The hotel was so inviting and lit up all around at night. When we checked in the gentlemens name who I didn't get was extremely helpful and super friendly even to my dog. It was $20 extra a night for my dog to stay! The rooms were big, clean, and the beds were so comfortable. The pool was our favorite.. very long, cold and 9 feet in the deep part. Had a nice big grill in the pool area and plenty of nice table areas. It was a mile or so from a market place that had everthing you could think of. We loved it so much we are planning a trip to visit next month.

This is our 2nd stay in 3 months. And even though we lost power they were very accommodating. What i dont like is lavk of coffee or the doors being locked so often with open sign on. I understand no one wants to sit in there all day though.

Clean & Comfortable, but No Balcony

Stayed one night, 9/13/25. I was in room 109, king bed, what they call a "Comfort" room, as opposed to their "Classic" room. Pros: clean, quite, comfortable bed, good water pressure, cute decor, microwave & mini fridge, hairdryer, A/C works well and there is also a fan, very friendly staff, pool looks clean. Cons: room description said there is a balcony, but none of the rooms have a balcony. I was looking foward to having my morning coffee on the balcony, watching the sunrise. No coffee maker in the room. Knowing this, I brought my own mini Kuerig, coffee, and mug, not a big deal. No hooks to hang a towel, robe, or clothing in the bathroom.
Cute decor. Appreciate the laminate wood floors. Big windows with blackout curtains. No balcony.

Wonderful central accommodation!

Front check in to check out it was wonderful! Friendly staff. The room was exactly as pictured and clean and comfortable. I appreciated the fact there was no heavy disinfectant smell. The rooms are pretty soundproof which was a relief. Bed was a little on the firm side so uncomfortable for us, but for a 2 night stay it was tolerable. Loved the fact it’s central to just about everything! It’s safe and they have lots of lights and cameras so I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here as a solo traveler or Mom with kids for a weekend away. The pool is nice too!! They also have grills available if you want to grill for lunch or dinner. Would be nice to have access to an outdoor shower when returning from the beach, but there are shower stations at 3 different locations when you exit from the beach so not terribly inconvenient. Overall I’d give them 5 stars! Photo of the oil rig in the distance was taken from our room!

Nice little place and clean!

My husband and I made a quick weekend trip to Crystal Beach and took a chance on this little place. It was well worth the price! Inexpensive. Very clean and cute! Had room for grandkids too with bunkbeds and a fold out. Would highly recommend
