Comfy and close to beach

The room was great and the bed very comfortable. The smoke detector beeped every now and then but not always. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy place

Purchasing through clarina, I didn't realize the extra fees that the hotel has. The people at the front desk were not the nicest. They have a $100 on top of $19 a day per car. The neighborhood is not the greatest, but it felt cozy in the room like an apartment without utensils. But it did have a full kitchen, toaster, coffee machine and stove.

Stay away

Room was tiny. It was not the room in the online photos. The room was so small the closet was inaccessible with the bed so close the doors could not open. Amenities ancient. The place was obviously cut up to create units. The person staying in the room adjacent was screaming obscenities at 3am and then was violently vomiting. Several additional fees at check in including $4.50 for ice!

Terrible employment.

Room was filthy. Had to clean and sanitize myself. I also did not receive my deposit back. And was told by the staff that it doesn’t come out. But it definitely came from my account. The amount of 80 dollars. I called several times only to get no one. I returned to the property and was told to speak with management. That wasn’t in at the time. I will be taking legal action if this isn’t resolved
