Clean room . Only issue air conditioning did not get cold and took a long time to get comfortable temperature. Curtains to window did not close completely so I had to use a hair clip to close properly so u can’t see inside the room . Received the smallest bar of soap for shower. It was good for just overnight stay . Very old room and I think overpriced for the hotel. Breakfast was family friendly. Only mini muffins and cereal etc. they need to upgrade breakfast for the price of hotel charge .

Stayed at the property almost two weeks. Had housekeeping service only one time. Bought my own toilet paper and toiletries. At the end of stay asked for late check out and to store luggage since I had lots of stuff and needed to wait for a larger vehicle. Front desk manager was very accommodating and they gave me place to store, but other frond desk staff were rude and said I was trespassing since I already checked out, after I came back to pick up items couple hours later and waited for a car outside. I work for hotels my entire life and storing luggage is a common practice in every hotel. This was very unpleasant and disturbing situation.

Good option at a reasonable price

My husband and I stayed for a couple of days pre-cruise. It’s an older hotel, but has a retro vibe. While it could use some updates it was clean, had a nice pool area( especially for families), an area to eat outside. The breakfast was just cereal and toast options. Staff was friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t for you. I’d stay again. Forgot to mention, great location-close to lots of restaurants and stores, easy to get to beaches.

The property was in the back of what looked like vacant buildings. The lady that checked me in was very polite and pleasant to talk to. The room appeared clean but there was a hole in the wall behind the door in the bathroom and tiles in the tub/shower area were starting to come off. I will not be using this facility again if I'm in this area.
