Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was quick. Room was clean but there is no fan in the washroom and the cleaning staff left behind the previous soap and shampoo. I didn’t need to use any cause I had my own but it was yucky to look at. It’s an apartment/motel building so there were a lot of people around. Not bothering anyone or noisy so it’s not a complaint. Just to be aware for people out of town.

Bring your dog ...for security

The sand castle was ok considering they do except pets. We expect a little less for this reason so are stay was ok to good. The halls carpets are very stained., the rear entrance door was not locked, and rooms have a keyed knob and no deadbolt. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Overall we had a quiet restful night.

Cons: Mattress and linen had stains. No hair dryer in bathroom. Walls have many holes/loose boards. Tub faucet taped back onto wall. Smelled extremely extremely strongly of cigarette smoke. Floors had crumbs and were clearly not vacuumed. Stayed for two days and did not receive room service/ refill on towels and linens. Pros: management very friendly and helpful. Answered all questions my partner and I had. Cheap pricing and located in an area with decent shopping and eating. Close to the beach (15 min drive). Good place to stay if you are out all day and just need a place to sleep.
