I See You, Sure Stay!! S/O✊♥️

I was so pleased with the time I spent at SureStay. The dryer was broken and the soda machine stole my $1.75. But luckily there's a laundry mat one block away and I had money for door dash. You can tell they were strict but I like that, it's reassuring. And BONUS: The front desk manager is a retired deputy sheriff! So this hotel's got muscle!👊I knew I was safe. I love the vaulted ceilings, yes it was clean and the staff were helpful and accommodating. Breakfast at 7:00am and free coffee all day! It was sweet! I will be back!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room had a very strong smell of mold and humidity. There was mold in between the picture and the glass of the frame, the paint on top of the beds was peeling, the beds were damp. Housekeeping came and “cleaned” the AC by spraying it so it wouldn’t smell anymore. I requested a different room but then there were roaches going into the AC on this one. I couldn’t spend not one night there. I had to cancel and I was charge for two nights anyway. Horrible experience. Manager yelling at housekeeping. When I told manager I needed another room as my daughter has severe allergies and couldn’t stay in a moldy room, she got very mad and aggressive. Asking if we had touched anything in that room because they need to sell it to someone else then. When returning the room key, she was very rude. Not recommending this hotel to anybody!

Liked the location to beach and boardwalk. AC's need to be upgraded. The unit was putting humidity into the room rather than discharging to the outside, which led to a very sticky and wet interior room.
