I really dont like the $100 "security deposit" that takes 5-7 business days to be returned. Other than that, location is great, room amelt like chlorine but i guess that's better than smelling dirty.

Recommend for basic stay.

Everything was fine except this apartment close to a small club, so it a little bit noisy. It’s worthy for a affordable price.

Bed bugs, dirty sheets, the smell of mildew and terrible wifi. We were not expecting fancy, but what we found was just gross. It's obviously an older building, but absolutely no effort was put into keeping things fresh. The towels they gave us had yellow stains and the white sheets had yellow stains. I even found a couple of bed bugs. I don't usually write reviews but this made me compelled. The price is high so you would expect a little better, but no, I do not recommend anyone staying here, the building should be condemned and started anew. That being said, the location is nice and close to the beach.

I got there and got ready and left right away. So I didn’t check anything until I got back I would say around 7pm the toilet seat was BLACK from dirt I wiped it down & the toilet paper I used was soooo dirty from cleaning the toilet seat when it came time to shower the towels had dried up blood as well and what looked to be urine stains … . The walls are thin & I could hear the family next door YELLING at their kid to go to sleep cussing at them. I would never ever stay there again . Don’t stay there tbh it is not worth it

They need to exterminate for roaches and clean the bathrooms better. Foundation to the rooms needs to be leveled better, holes and breaks can cause someone to get hurt. Last, need more parking spaces as they’re next to 3 bars.
