We paid for the most expensive "DELUXE" room according to advertisement. But, everything was broken & filthy. It did not look like ad pictures. I took photos of everything as evidence. Broken: T.V., air conditioner, no heater function, outlet, No HOT water. Damaged: doors, wall corners, front drapes, shower curtain thin flimsy fabric. No inner shower curtain liner. Gaps around front door let in cold breeze, fridge NOT cold & without freezer, no comforter. VERY filthy air conditioner filters, walls doors, walls, tub, & floor. People live there with kids outside Unsupervised, Screaming, & blowing whistles. We paid in advance for a week stay. Because we complained about some of these conditions...the management had us leave prior to the last night we already paid for. But, we still have NOT received our refund for that night!

I'm happy with my experience. Check-in was fast and easy, the bed was decently comfy, the towels were not too scratchy; well, the bed frame looked like an animal had literally chewed it up all around the sides, but there's nothing they can really do about that. It was very clean inside & the grounds were kept well. Our room overlooked the harbor which was pretty nice. However, just a heads up, at exactly 8am, the loudspeakers down at the pier played a SUPER loud song that was over a minute long. So it might not be good if you have a baby or insomnia. But otherwise it's definitely a great budget-friendly option.
