An excellent option for the beach at an affordable price. The only negative was the $10 parking charge that I was not told about at the time of the reservation. Other than that it was a great experience

The room was dirty. The microwave didn't work, and the bathroom was filthy. We requested daily cleaning service and never received it. We had to take our dirty towels to the front office and pick up clean towels every day!!! We will never go back to this hotel. Not worth the money.

This hotel is one step above a roadside motel in the backwoods of W. Virginia and a below a Motel 6. There was mold around the shampoo and conditioner dispensers, a weird (likely old blood) stain in one of the comforters, and the walls hiad streaks of dirt where the towel racks were. The walls were so thin that conversations in neighboring rooms could be clearly heard in my room. I dried up some water that i had dripped on the floor and tje towel came up black. It was so bad tjat i didnt stay the entirety of my prepaid booking.
