You get what you pay for I guess. Much cheaper than other hotels in the area. Some exterior photos were of other buildings closer to the beach. Minimal amenities. Good things were: very close to the beach, grocery store and restaurants.

Bad bad bad! Not what its cracked up to be

The place on the app dipicts clean beachfront poperty. There was no keys available for our room so we kept having to borrow the managers key and bring it back to her immediately. It was really run down. No a/c in the room they had a small fan that was plugged in. No towels. We asked the front desk if they had shampoo and conditioner and she opened up a childs apple smelling hair,face and body shampoo and poured it in a clear plastic glass. I had to refund everyones money who came with me as we split it 4 ways. I felt bad and embarrassed as this was a buisness trip we had no view and everyone was loud and the window had no screens and it was so hot in the room but i didnt feel safe enough to leave a window open.

This was the quest hotel we've ever stayed out. No towels, no toilet paper, they weren't even going to give us a key card because they didn't have any. They had to go find a random one to give us. Nothing worked, everything was dirty and gross. Tub was worthless. No coffee just a dirty gross coffee pot.
The nasty front door
The throw away coffee filter holder. Been used a dozen times I'm sure

Scary Place to stay

Don’t stay here it’s a joke! This place was awful didn’t even stay 10 min in the room!!!! We left checked out asap .. The pictures online are photoshopped, it’s down the street from the beach pictures show it right on the beach. You walk in the room there’s so many holes in the walls it feels like your being video recorded, they have a cabinet with Ethernet cables falling out probably surveillance for the room . The bed was so stained it was gross.. they won’t refund my money I pre paid, maybe they can use it to buy a new bed and sheets! The bed was as bad as the rest of the place you sink to the floor it’s so old! Pubic hairs in the tub, the little fridge was repaired by “I can do it cheaper” had rust 😬 thought I was gonna get Tetanus. The plug next to the tub in the room is a shock hazard not up to code & broken this place doesn’t take any pride in the upkeep . I should have stuck with my gut instinct and stayed away from this place! Motel 6 looked nicer as I drove off .
Cat5 cables hanging out of locked cabinet if your gonna spy at least be discreet
Not up to code and broken should have GFCI
Paint peeling off whole room was peeling

An expensive disappointment.

This property had no one at desk to assist with their client needs. Rooms were poorly maintained especially showers. I requested bottom floor due to disabled adults and hotel unable to accommodate. No daily check from housekeeping for any needs.parking was sparse if you went out and returned after 2pm. There free breakfast was a joke!..positive it was by the beach.
