There was MOLD on the ceiling. It seemed as if the room hadn’t been cleaned to the best of one’s ability (only cleaned what was visible to the eye). Underneath the beds were disgusting. The sink stayed clogged. The oven and stovetop in the room didn’t work, would set the smoke detectors off. The dishes provided still had grease on them. There were cockroaches. The “free internet” didn’t even work. The tv’s did not pick up good signals so we wasn’t able to watch anything nearly for our whole stay. The bathtub seemed unsafe, almost as if it was going to fall through (there were cracks in the tub and it sunk in).

We stayed here last year in October and really enjoyed it. Upon our arrival this time the floor felt like it had sand all over it (a little is normal) and the beds were horrible. When you sat down or laid down you could feel the box springs. Please replace the mattresses and have someone check the rooms before someone checks in. I do not believe we will choose this next time we are in the area.

I reserved three nights,checked out after one and went to a different hotel. This establishment is in need of immediate mattress replacements. Guests we met complained to us about the same issue. The room was very old and worn. The oven dirty. The balcony had an ocean view but the ac cover off, noisy and dirty area.I spoke to the manager. Whether the owners do right by guests remains to be seen. The staff, Tiki bar and dining was great. The missing ingrediant is decent comfortable rooms. Housekeeping did their job as much as they could.

Staff was excellent! A+++++Every request was met with a satisfactory result A+ Pool was clean and refreshing. View from the room A+++ Beds are ok but comfy (A little shifting of the top mattress sliding off the box springs,but we just pushed it back to center. Kitchen was nice setup(cleaning of oven is needed) otherwise was all clean, pots and pans and kitchen accessories were adequate. We used paper plates and plastic forks/spoons anyways. Tiki bar was excellent with Ashlin and Henry making GREAT refreshments. The hotel is older so given that, and it's affordable pricing you get more than your monies worth. We'll definitely be returning!!

I had to have the room key redone at least one or two times per day. The balcony door doorknob was broken. The room had a kitchen but had to request silverware and then they did not bring any forks or cooking utensils. The couch has cheese crumbs on it. This is the third time I have stay in this hotel. The first two times were fine. This time was terrible

Check out your room before booking

Room not suitable for guest, beds terrible need new mattresses, bugs in room, bathroom need updated terribly, toilet always needed plunged, stove could be replaced couldn’t tell if the oven was heating up, one elevator wasn’t working and for a day in a half both elevators weren’t working I am handicap and had to climb down 7 flights of stairs and back up. Not handicap accessible enough especially entering and exiting the main building lobby area. Check-in and out was smooth and only one front desk clerk was extremely helpful not sure of her name but she worked Sunday, 8/3/25 around 5-5:30 PM keep up the good work, and the food and one guest server who worked the Tiki bar were excellent. Needless to say, I won’t be back! If i could’ve gotten my deposit back I would have and stayed somewhere else.

Keep looking

This is the second time we’ve stayed here. The first time was approximately 3 years ago. This place has really gone downhill since the last time we stayed. Check-in was great, the lady working the desk was very nice. Our room however was a different story. Sand all over the floor, the sink was covered in something just overall dirty room with a refrigerator that wasn’t getting cold. I requested a different room if possible but there were non available so we dealt with the issues for our stay. During our stay our room was never cleaned once, and it definitely wasn’t cleaned before our arrival. With all this said I will not be staying at this place again.
