The only redeeming quality of this property was the beautiful view of the beach. Room and property were filthy. Lots of cockroaches. Gross stains on walls. Breakfast was a plate of packaged muffins. Staff seemed uninterested and annoyed.

The front desk clerk was friendly but very monotone and didn’t have access to any linens, said it was locked. Had two rooms, one smelt like a pot grow while the other smelt like a basement. The rooms were dirty, debris on the floor, shower looked dirty enough for me to skip and the lamps were rusty. The floors and everything else was wet from condensation. The door frame had been broken and was screwed back together. The beds were made but there was some staining on the linens. I won’t be staying again.

I liked that it was right along the sea wall. Beautiful view of the Gulf. I made my reservations 3 months before and when I got there they couldn't find my reservation. Spent the better part of 1 hour getting it straightened out. Then when I got to my room it had a smell of marijuana. I had to have them come and smell it for themselves so I didn't get charged for smoking in the room.

The room had a bad smell and the ac did not work. We had to argue to get moved to another room that also had an odor. Walk out to the street make a left and the food establishments are bad also. After we took a tour we found out this was not the area to be in. The photos of the hotel are misleading. Stay somewhere other than here!

Door handle to our room was not adjusted or installed wrong because it only worked some of the time. Person behind the counter seemed irritated that I was disturbing her during check in. Best thing about this location was the proximity to the beach.

I booked for 5 nights this was my second time staying at this facility. After a long 12 hrs shift each time I get the keys the doors would not open and I have to walk back to the front desk and this was the second time this happened . Frustrated I walked back to the front desk expressed my frustration I was met with aggression by this night shift staff last 2/16 who would not offer an explanation or apology but rather pointing fingers at me and asking me if I wanted to check out or stay was my choice. If this is what you have as the face of your hotel then u shouldn’t waste your time marketing cos you are already demarketing your business with is staff. She never offered any answer just insults and there was another customer there . She threw the key at me it was the eorsg gmtreatmrnt I will spend only one one night instead of 5
