Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disgustingly dirty. Stunk of weed, cigarettes and bodily fluids. Black mold growing on the walls. Holes that appeared to have been punched in the walls. The elevator to the 5th floor is extremely unsafe and the doors jammed shut and wouldn’t let us exit for several minutes. Found curly black hair in all the towels. Moldy showers. Hole in bathroom ceiling above the shower. Floors are tripping hazards with inconsistent leveling. Extremely outdated and gross. The halls don’t appear to have ever been cleaned. Honestly the whole place should be burned to the ground.

The property is run down and not being kept up. People were blasting music at the pool. We were only given two towels,no floor towel or hand towels, we had to ask for more. The room was clean, though sparsely furnished- no chair, no pictures on the wall. However, if you're on a budget, the pool and the location are great. If you can afford better, do get better!

They had one working elevator and it was in poor condition. Shaky and noisy. When we arrived we had no towels or washcloths in our room. We had to ask laundry for towel and washcloth and they were extremely unprofessional asking me “you ain’t had none in your room”. Uhm I wouldn’t be asking if I did. The facility is dirty. It’s not a “resort” it is like a motel 6 with a pool. The pool was nice and clean. If you are on a tight budget and just want a place to sleep then this is the place for you. Oh and our room key kept deactivating. We had to go to the reception desk 5 times in 4 days for a new key. The air conditioning is awful as well. I put it as low as it would go and as high as it would go and suffocated the whole time. For over $100 a night they could do better. No one came and cleaned our room once in 4 days. And if you want fresh towels or washcloths you have to carry them down yourself and exchange your old ones for new ones. Do not recommend this hotel. Felt like I was in the ghetto.

I would not recommend anyone to stay in this place, everything is so old and not functional, the toilet was broke, the sink, there was roaches. This was a horrible experience. The pictures on their website are misleading customers.

This property is poorly maintained and not anything like the pictures shown. The staff is friendly enough but you can tell they are very under supported. Also know the difference between ocean view and ocean front when booking. The first room I was in was scary! You get what you paid for though. The pool is amazing and the beach as well. They were the saving grace!

Basic, safe property in the thick of beach activity. Property is adequate and close to the beach and amusement park, restaurants. Huge swimming pool stays open late. Be careful of what they call "ocean view". No breakfast in the AM and no room cleanup, have to ask for towels daily etc. Plenty of parking good location.

I’ll start by saying we need to update pictures of the hotel. Your pictures are deceiving, horrible mariguana smell, roaches, bugs inside and outside. They said their beds are queen size and they are full size, for a family of 6 this was not a great sleep. No TV, no towels, no internet, the experience was bad for the entire family. If I can get my 1100 dollars back I’ll ask for it. But I know I’m not able to get it.
