Great stay

Really great place. Clean. The only drawbacks were the gross disgusting smokers who stayed there.... Depositing their butts right on the ground. Also, would suggest maybe limiting pool to only guests that are staying there, not inviting their whole extended family. Kids should also be supervised to use the pool

You can’t ask for a better location! We rented a small cottage, just big enough for 2 people. They let us park right next to it, which was very convenient. The place is quiet, clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. It is an old place, and just the basics, but it served us very well for our time at the beach.

Left 4 hours later

There was blood on the baseboards and wall, I didn’t take pictures of the blood because I was freaked out and we left, the carpet was torn up, the wall was torn up. It was super run down. The hotel front desk person was a cubicle behind bulletproof glass and they would only let one person in the office at a time and it was just odd. We left before we even stayed the night because it just did not feel safe and it was gross.

The guys were very kind. Easy check-in. The microwave was broken and i asked them to replace, they didi not. The next day, i showed them the broken microwave and they replaced it. Don't expect a coffee maker or a boiler or glasses to heat water in the microwave. The AC is very loud and the beds are not comfortable (for me). One of the bed sheets was torn off due to cigarette burning i guess and three of the electrical receptacles were loose. Expect to find the parking spot infront of the room to be taken by others. 5 minutes drive to the beach and 2 minutes to some food markets and restaurants.
