Not worth it,

Room had roaches, white towels had old stains. Location is good but not worth it. Many pool lounge chairs were broken, dont know why they still have them around the pool. Part of the building is collapsing. They charged $16 for resort fee per person I asked for pool towels was told housekeeping didn't bring them to the lobby, I wasnt expecting luxury, just a clean room and free of pest and mold. I told them my room had roaches, the receptionist offered me a different room, asked me to go check if it didn't have roaches because she never had a complain from that room but was not giving me what they call a kitchen wich is microwave and fridge. I told her when I book it said the room had those two. I only got a fridge had to throw away my leftovers that I needed to heat up. Staff is very aware of the issue. I only stay in the new room because it had better AC, you cant control it from the room. I STILL SAW A SMALL ROACH IN THE BATHROOM but i stay because it was late night and it didn't seem they were going to give me a refund. The resort fee is a ripoff is not a resort at all. My reservation said it was included a continental breakfast. It did not. I would have had a better experience staying in a motel or farther from the beach. This is my first review, I knew it wasnt a luxurious hotel but the pictures are misleading. Oh and one elevator is out of service and the other looks like soon will be, dont put your family through this.

This place was disgusting, worst place I have ever seen. If we hadn’t arrived at 2:00 a.m. I never would have stayed. The bed sheets were dirty in multiple rooms, the towel weren’t washed as they had boogers from someone blowing there nose. I’m disappointed a place like this made it on the Expedia website.

The location is amazing. Outside of that, this hotel was awful. No towels or wash clothes for 6 of our 8 day stay. Almost never could get a beach towel. Took lounge chairs away and locked them up at 4pm (keeping in mind there were no beach towels to sit on either then). Roaches in our room so moved rooms. No maid service 6 of 8 days when requested even. Were given continental breakfast but only consisted of toast and juice/coffee (seriously not one other thing). Promised money back for our troubles but never credited the card that was used to pay. Flooding in hallway. Building held up by external support beams. Very disappointing and disgusting hotel. But the location on the beach is amazing

This place was a complete farce. The photos online do not do it justice. I don't think they've updated anything since Frank Sinatra last stayed there. There is super sketchy scaffolding holding up a wall, that's just for starters. They told us they are tearing the place down in 20 days and that's exactly what needs to happen. Its not good.
