Ragtag hotel!!

The room was old and worn. You could see daylight thru door. The door sweep was basically non existent. Door was dirty. Tub drain cover wouldnt stay up while showering. Toilet seat loose. Toilet leaked. The matress seemed 20 years old. Matress had a few brown smears on side of it. Fitted sheet covered it though. Cigarette butts all over the place near pool. Breakfast for 6 mornings were repetative. Juice machine broken entire stay. Was not the most rested stay weve had and im 65. Been to quite a few different hotels. Room attendants didn't speak english and the towels were almost non existant.

The property was great for the money. 20 minutes to the beach. Check in was slow (clerk said there was an emergency meeting), 3 cockroaches "palmetto bugs" ran by me in the lobby. The room had black out drapes, comfortable bed and pillows. Only maid service if you asked. The area below me by the staircase had dumpsters full of trash in the walkway to the pool. I always bring a fan for white noise to block out the sound. Music from a guest was blasting mexican music in the parking lot. The complimentary breakfast was sufficient, eggs, waffles, toast, yogurt cereal. All in all I would stay again. Thank you.

Tried to check in at 4 but room wasn't ready, had to wait about 15 extra minutes but no big deal, however our room didnt have hot water. Other than that, we had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, the pool was great and my granddaughter loved the toddler pool! Very quiet and bed was comfortable. All in all, great location and fantastic price! Would stay here again.

I would like to say the trip started off rough. We were women up at 1030pm because they had given someone else our room too. Then security came and woke us up again and we had to prove we were indeed staying there. Then the whole night there were teenagers surrounding us and were loud until 4am. Needless to say - day one was rough. The next morning we went to speak to the manager and she immediately apologized and move us into a suite inside the hotel and it was a pleasant time the rest of our trip. THANK YOU for taking care of us and hearing us out.
