It was comfortable, I would stay again, but i do not like the $100 deposit plus paying for the room. The deposit was for in case I smoked in the room. They need to get rid of that.

Should have went to La Villa up the road

Unexpectedly fees of 100$ deposit which I never received back.. nothing in the room is worth 100$.. uneven lumpy floors.. stopped up shower drain.. tv did not work.. ac barely running.. gross pillows. Horrible stench I’m out clothes after 11 hours here.. stay was unbearable.. will update if I get my deposit back but I’m highly doubtful

Everything was pretty clean in our room other than a dirty broom left inside and a couple spiders hanging out by the tub. Other than that everything was very clean, staff was very nice and understanding, and the hotel was quiet. It was very peaceful.

Nice staff, pleasant stay. Older aging building.

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.

It was a very inexpensive hotel. I thought it would be a dive, but it wasn’t and it appears to me that the management really cares about their property.
