We requested a late check out (12PM). Staff started knocking the door at 11:15, the worker entered the room avoiding our replies. Frustrating. Overall, the noise level is disappointing as they don’t have any wall/windows insulation.

Not recommended!

Had to wait 10 minutes (8:30pm) to check in our room. Office door locked with sign. Young lady finally unlocked the door. Did not open the door for us. We are in our sixties. Never welcomed us just told me to sign their papers and pay a $100 deposit for possible damages, etc. 4-5 day return back to my card😡 Room smelled “funky”! Thin sheets, no washcloths and the floor was very dirty with something sticky on it. Continental breakfast was cheap choc chip muffins and coffee. Nothing else, no fruit, yogurt or anything. Morning desk clerk was equally grumpy and unfriendly as the one last night. Won’t stay there again!

OK stay for V-Day.

Room was just "OK". Floor was dirty (Had to keep socks on). The entry door was hard to get in / out of. Cold fridge, small TV. Room had a great view. Office staff was cold and unfriendly. Overall, just ok for the price.

An OK place to crash for one night (before a cruise for example), or if you are young and are in the area to party and just need a place to pass out.Definitely unsuitable for longer stays, especially with kids. It may have been a fairly decent motel once. It even has a pool (dirty and neglected, but a pool nevertheless). Walls are paper-thin, AC is noisy and there is plenty of mold. The staff are nice and you can see that they do what they can to keep the property more or less clean and welcoming. The place is in dire need of a major overhaul.
