Bad experience with this hotel. Room smelled bad as soon as we walked in. The hotel does not even have the name outside. Pictures are not even close to what you get. Roach was killed on wall and it seems its been there for a while.give it a 1 star because there is no 0. Staff was not friendly when we checked in.

No pool and busted pipe.

We came for the indoor swimming pool. I had even called but when we got there the pool was closed. Friday night where our room was, there was a pool of water on the floor and the ceiling tile broke through and was on the floor. No water that night. The next morning we had water but it was freezing. We still couldn't take a shower that day. It made the trip pretty aggravating because we had went to the ocean and had salt water and sands on us. I was wished we could have been able to have water in the room and other than the pipe busting right outside our room and the loud fan the at our door, it was a good trip.

This is an old Drury property and the exterior looks ok. The standards are very low and this property is very tired. They hold a $100.00 deposit for up to two weeks, which was a surprise. Spend the extra money further away from hobby. I’ve stayed at several and this area is in a sad state and unsafe!!!
