The staff was nice. The interior was clean and comfortable and without any smell (which was great!). Perhaps the fact that the hotel is undergoing some renovation, which makes it a bit unorganized from outside. But otherwise, it was a great stay for us.

The rooms are great. Updated and clean. The courtyard was nice with pool and tiki bar. Overall quiet motel, although right next to a busy road. The dehumidifier in the room, along with the AC unit drowned it out pretty well. I enjoyed my stay here. Double check the dehumidifier before going to bed as it went off beeping at 1:00am, telling me it was full. Also would be nice to have something to black out the light from the outside. Room was pretty light at night.

Inside the room you notice some updates to vanities, there was a roach inside my room , and there needs to be more attention to bedsheet and pillow case cleanliness. For the price I didn’t complain but cleanliness is a must

Rooms were moldy. Had to change rooms, and the other was equally moldy. People at the Tiki bar downstairs were not so friendly to us. Not worth it.

Nice room but odd smell

Our room had a damp smell to it that at times was overpowering. The bathroom fan didn’t seem to work or at least not well enough. Otherwise the room was clean & spacious. Parking was easy & you are near many places to eat.

I would stay there again

The hotel was very nice. It was close to a lot of things like the beach was maybe 20 minutes away. Everything was about 15-20 minute drive. It was very close to the airport. The only thing is the incidental hold is $150. That’s the only thing I didn’t like is because the incidental charge was more than my room. Other than that it was great. I would stay there again.

I was really disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The building is very old and it clearly hasn’t been updated in a long time. There are no amenities at all, which makes it feel even more uncomfortable. The room smelled musty and damp as soon as I walked in, and it never went away. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless they do some serious renovations and improve their services.
