0/5 — Checked Out Immediately!! Absolutely vile. Filthy, broken, stinking rooms that should’ve been condemned years ago. Don’t be fooled by the beach location — this place is a dump. Hotels.com had to refund my stay because it was that hideous. Should be shut down immediately. Avoid at all costs.

I travel for a living so I’ve stayed in my fair share of low and high quality hotels. This is the absolute most disgusting hotel I’ve ever been at. The lobby is supposed to be welcoming this lobby was filled with trash, dirty cluttered countertops, mold on the ceilings no ac and rude staff. Booking dates were messed up to start instead of trying to resolve issue manager was very rude blaming it on me not very customer friendly. Tried to ignore the bad reviews, but this place need shut down. STAY AWAY!

Im not against cuture in fact i love it however; none of the staff spoke English so it kinda sucked when trying to ask the simplest things. You would think 1 person would but it was like we were on our own to figure things out and also THERE WAS NO WIFI ! ☹️ My husband couldnt get any work done during our stay. Couldnt use our phones unless we left the grounds. So id definitely give this place & our experience a 3 out of 10.

The outside hotel property looks very rundown. Looks like a rent by the hour kind of atmosphere inside the rooms were nice. They were redone. Plenty of space, although in our room, the Tv was literally right beside the bed with very little walking room between the two due to their lack of plugs in the room. A rainfall shower, and a complete closet. The AC worked great although it looks like the AC had leaked and there was water damage underneath on the wall. The beds were pretty hard but spacious. Parking was annoying. There is only about 10 spaces so you want to park and not move your car. Things are within walking distance. There was also $100 hold fee for accidentals that was not mentioned on the website. And seeing that we checked out on a Saturday, it was not released until Monday.

Overall it was quiet, however it did look like the place had not been cleaned in YEARS. My only hope was that the bedding was clean-it appeared to be- and the shower itself was clean. Everything else was not. Did the job of somewhere to lay our heads for one night, but it needs major upkeep.
