Didn’t Match the Photos — Needs Major Upkeep . We booked based on the photos showing bright blue walls and updated rooms, what we got looked nothing like that. The room was older, plain, and in clear need of maintenance. Check-in was quick, but they charged the first night a day early and added a $100 hold for incidentals at the desk. When we got to the room, the TV wasn’t even plugged in, and after a few trips to the front desk to get help, it finally worked, though it had a constant buzzing echo. The bathroom had visible water damage and mold near the shower, with sloppy caulking. Towels were folded nicely but looked dingy, not fresh. The bed was hard, and even though we booked a double, we only got one bed. The pool was tiny and had sketchy-colored water, and we skipped the free breakfast since it looked limited and unappetizing. Overall, staff were polite, but the property needs a serious refresh,cleaner rooms, maintenance, and more accurate photos of what guests can actually expect.

The room was decent and clean. You can tell it’s an older property, but for the convenience and easy access to everything and short commute to the beach, it was great. Breakfast options were good, decent amenities, clean room.
