The location was ideal for going to the beach. The beach was perfect. The hotel is run down but the room was clean, the shower was amazing and the AC was great. The check in was definitely concerning when you arrive you have to dial a phone outside a window with posters warning of the surveillance, that there's NO Breakfast, despite what the website says, and they charge you a $100 room deposit that took 5 days to drop off my credit card. The room was clean and comfortable with a fridge, microwave, TV all in great working condition and the bathroom was good. The bed was very clean and comfortable. The AC was ancient but worked great. The lobby and outside of the hotel weren't in good shape. The neighborhood didn't seem especially safe and the door locks were janky. My major concern was cleanliness and the room met my expectations.

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.

The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.
