Overall our room was clean and serviceable, even though the building was clearly old and needs updating.
However, the bed were rock hard and very uncomfortable. Also, there was not hot water for the shower. We will not return due to these two things.
The proximity to the beach was great, especially for the price.
Terrible need to shut down . They have roaches , said we was getting a queen bed it was a twin bed . Then charge me a 100$ deposit for what the hotel need to be shut down for real . Need my money back u ask me

The young man at the desk was rude should not customer facing. He clearly did not like serving the public. We got the room key put out things in the room and set out to eat. Came back to room and noticed it was very cold we also noticed the sink area was dirty. We noticed that the door had a huge gap and did meet the door frame light and wind came straight in. We gathered our things and let the office know even should a picture. He really did not care. We checked out and stayed down the street at the Hilton. I am hoping we can receive a refund. We didn’t use the room and it was not in a condition to have slept in

Outside surface of doors and their locks very scruffy and lock not functioning. Bathroom sink partly blocked. Interior very basic but good air conditioning, comfortable beds, good shower and the room clean. Reception desk a little indifferent. Free coffee and mini muffins at front desk for breakfast. No room safe. Room was quiet.

Staff acted like they were forced to be there. Not friendly at all. No hot water for a shower.
Zero Stars if I Could
Room was filthy torn, dirty sheets and a clogged, overflowing toilet. When we told the front desk, instead of offering a new room, they handed us stained towels like that fixed anything. The staff was dismissive and clearly didn’t care. This place is trash from top to bottom. Avoid at all costs.
