    The front desk lady was rude at check in. The room had a blind, but no curtains. The room was lite up like the Fourth of July even with the blinds closed. The walls are paper thin, and you can hear everything.

    The price was good, and the bed was comfortable.

    I liked the location . I ly a block from the beach and there were stores and bars very close.

    Breakfast was all right .. The blinds in my room were old, missing and broken slats..No curtains, so no privacy

    The room had a terrible smell. The tub was dirty and the bed was uncomfortable. Employees stay in rooms and have loud fights. Walls are paper thin.

    Like the climate control in the room.

    The lady was rude . The man was nice. But the maintenance man act like he was running things . I rented the room in my name and my boyfriend and I had an argument, ( we were breaking up) . So the maintenance man told my boyfriend he would put his name and the rental so I couldn't make him leave is that right? Can they do that I paid for the room. Guess I'll never know huh?

    The location and the price.

    Housekeeping was rude and didn’t clean the room completely. Had a friend stop by and park in one of the many open spots and instead of coming in speaking to me, they attempted to call a tow truck and I guess who has only been there five minutes.

    Convenient location

    I don’t smoke All of my luggage smells like smoke, the first night I feel like I was suffocating due to the amount of smoke smells in the room….. housekeepers not mopping the floors just take a bath to your bed the bottom of your feet get dirty immediately 2 people in one you get one wash cloth …….

    The staff was very kind and quick to fix the tv issue we had. The luggage carts were a bit old and beat up but that was fine. The rooms were clean and well taken care of. We enjoyed our time there and the location was very close to the beach. Plus we were right behind Walgreens which was a bonus when we needed any care items. Overall a nice stay. Nothing fancy but a good choice if you're on a budget going to the beach.

    It was kind of a sketchy place, to be honest, gave me the impression that the hotel owners gave the homeless and fiends a free/ cheap place to stay. Went outside and some guy was using a grill right behind my car, almost melted my bumper

    The price was okay for a Holliday weekend, we also had to switch hotels last minute.

    Shower was gross. Items like the table lamps were rusty. Outlets didn't work.

    Could hear everyone is other rooms, could smell Marijuana all night. Bathroom was moldy, had to wear shoes in it. Woke to snail in it. Drain didn't even fit and was full of hair. Toilet was so close to vanity you have to sit sideways. Could see the mold one walls and ceiling trying to be covered with paint. Outlets didn't work. Lamps and all metal things were rusty.

    The bathroom was disgusting, there was Jaír in the tube they obviously didn’t clean the bathroom. I also thought it was weird they didn’t have a trash can inside the bathroom. Only one trash can really? What if we have tampons or pads we have to dispose of.

    The location of this motel is great very very close to beach but it’s definitely not worth almost $700 for two nights. The “ocean view” room is a joke! And still charge extra for that, shameful.
