Disliked: Cleanliness
My second night I caught 2 roaches. One I swatted off the bed and the second I swatted off the nightstand. I brought it to attention to the front desk worker when I was checking out and they said they couldn’t adjust the amount they charged me for the two nights. I have a picture of the dead roach in the bathroom by the waste basket. I should the worker and they said they would notify the manager and he told me to contact Expedia.

We arrived a bit early at the hotel and on request we were given a early check in at no extra cost. Upon check in we got a room away from the street so it was very quiet and peaceful for us so we really slept very well. On the other side room was clean with decent amenities The location of the property was very good , walking distance from beach and other attraction. Highly recommend this place.

The property was absolutely terrible: ahredded carpet, bathroom tiles were missing, window sills were crumbling, table was duck taped. This 'pet friendly' property had no where for my pet to do her business. This is maybe one of the most run down places i have ever stayed in.
