Gave this place a 2 star only because we had an ocean view. The room had a weird odor I couldn't identify. Everything was old, small, low, and cramped. The window in the bathroom faced the hallways (they all did) so if someone took a dump, it would smell up the hallway. The top of the blanket on bed was itchy. Just was not impressed in the least and will not be staying there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There was a stench in the room. Such bad smell that i couldn't even sleep. I opened the balcony door, but that made us cold. We didnt leave the hotel because there are few in the area with elevator. We are elderly. It would be the last time i will come near this hotel. They have the nerve to open these filthy and possibly health hazardous conditions to the public. I hope it was not mold that i breathing. Because after my complaint to the front desk the next morning, the clerk told me that they had cleaned the carpets. And maybe, they hadn't dried. Worst hotel ever.
