Not terrible but not great either

It is RIGHT at the beach. Very old building…cosmetically not beautiful but it is clean. I agree with someone else about the one or two night stay, it’s a decent location but you’ll get none of the creature comforts of a newer hotel. The staff was very kind though. I think the deposit is crazy. The bathroom in my room was extremely small but serviced my needs and was clean.

I liked that it’s walking distance to everything but I didn’t like that there is no room cleaning, and also the bathrooms are very small, couldn’t use the toilet without the wall hitting my head like it was a very small gap.

The property was not what I expected, upon my arrival the power was out, within my stay the power went out several times. I also didn’t get the room I paid for initially. One of the staff almost walked in on me because he thought the room was empty (not his fault). There is no parking this is definitely bad for business specially when some of us like to rent cars. They also came to clean the room one time, after that they never came back. The staff was ok but I think they need to do better.

Not a three star hotel 2 star with great location

The hotel was three stars I'm not sure how that happened but it's 2 stars with a greatest location. Check in was bad, rooms were partially redone, no real hot water after running for 10 minutes I got 5 minutes of hot water. night front desk was not equipped with tools to even get extra shampoo. Beds were so bad, not even a pad on the bed just a single bottom sheet.

If I could give zero stars I would.

Do Not Stay here! Terrible place to stay. The entrance to the hotel was under construction and you had to go through the side/back door. The room AC did not cool the room. Shower had a leak from the shower head and the ceiling with the entire shower corner moldy (Room 206). Evening and morning staff were not helpful. No accommodations were made. The elevator is very sketchy/unsafe. other customers were also complaining about other room concerns. My understanding, is they know about these issues and continue to place people in these rooms. They act like they had no clue, ask if the AC is Celsius/Fahrenheit and if your settings are set to cool/turbo. One of the other staff advised us to open the window. Please note even after running the AC for 12 plus hours it was still warm. I asked for a refund so i could book somewhere else and they were unable to. Please save your time, and book somewhere else. Luckily for me, this was a one day stay.
