A real dump

This place is a dump. I've never seen a hotel that only has a few non- smoking rooms. They put us in a room where previous occupants were smoking. My wife got headache in 1 hr sitting in room. The carpet was filthy, the bed side lamps didn't work. I've never seen such a disusting hotel room. We left in 1 hr, couldn't stay there.

If you're traveling with kids or need a non-smoking room, avoid this place. All rooms allow smoking, regardless of what’s advertised. Management gives false assurances to get you through the door, but won’t issue refunds. Expedia won’t protect you either — they defer to the property’s policies. Our room wasn’t ready even by 5:30 PM, was dirty, smelled of smoke, and lacked the ocean view we paid for. We canceled upon arrival, as did other guests checking in at the same time. The front desk staff were polite but powerless — all decisions come from management and ownership. Extremely disappointing experience.

The hotel is very outdated and dirty. Carpets in the room were awful, the ceiling leaked, and the bath tub had putty covering up holes. On a positive note, Staff was very friendly, there were no bugs and the oceanfront view was great! Our stay wasn’t awful, but I won’t be staying again unless it’s updated!

Do not stay here!

Horrible place to stay, no housekeeping offered. Filthy from top to bottom; lobby, rooms and all over the hotel. The only positive thing is that it’s ocean front.

Very unclean and not well kept. Also full payment upfront and attestation that services were delivered required at check in is odd policy. Room keys really hard to work. Only good part is proximity to ocean.
