Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was in a sketchy part of town riddled with homeless. They also seem to allow homeless to stay on site as there were many cars in the parking lot full of junk. One car next to ours had rims of another vehicle that did not belong to the one in the stall. People sat in their cars for hours smoking marijuana and cigarettes. The area was loud and hectic with cars and motorcycles coming in and out of the lot all night. The room itself was dingy and beat up. Coffee machine was broken, refrigerator was dented, ac/heater that sounded like it was going to blow up. The beds had one extremely thin blanket that barely kept us warm at night. Will not be back and do not recommend this place to others.

Very disappointed.

The information given about the hotel was very deceiving. There was no hot coffee or tea provided in the lobby all day, long or in the evening. cheap coffee was provided in the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. You can feel the springs The rooms smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. The rooms were so outdated. The outlets did not work in the bathroom and the bedroom area. I had paid all the fees for the hotel room, but the hotel receptionist charge me the fees again. The location was excellent very close to the beach.

The room had an open electrical box uncovered with no wire nuts, there was no fire alarm in the room. When I told the person on duty he said there was. There was not, I am a general contractor and was very unpleased he tried to convince me otherwise. He became unpleasant and was very irritated. We cleared the room and went to a different hotel. Please refund the full amount I have pictures of the open electrical box and lack of a fire alarm where they are legally supposed to be. If the person would have apologized and been pleasant the situation would have been different.
