Scary Place to stay

Don’t stay here it’s a joke! This place was awful didn’t even stay 10 min in the room!!!! We left checked out asap .. The pictures online are photoshopped, it’s down the street from the beach pictures show it right on the beach. You walk in the room there’s so many holes in the walls it feels like your being video recorded, they have a cabinet with Ethernet cables falling out probably surveillance for the room . The bed was so stained it was gross.. they won’t refund my money I pre paid, maybe they can use it to buy a new bed and sheets! The bed was as bad as the rest of the place you sink to the floor it’s so old! Pubic hairs in the tub, the little fridge was repaired by “I can do it cheaper” had rust 😬 thought I was gonna get Tetanus. The plug next to the tub in the room is a shock hazard not up to code & broken this place doesn’t take any pride in the upkeep . I should have stuck with my gut instinct and stayed away from this place! Motel 6 looked nicer as I drove off .
Cat5 cables hanging out of locked cabinet if your gonna spy at least be discreet
Not up to code and broken should have GFCI
Paint peeling off whole room was peeling

An expensive disappointment.

This property had no one at desk to assist with their client needs. Rooms were poorly maintained especially showers. I requested bottom floor due to disabled adults and hotel unable to accommodate. No daily check from housekeeping for any needs.parking was sparse if you went out and returned after 2pm. There free breakfast was a joke!..positive it was by the beach.

Next to beach but needs work

I purchased a room with a jacuzzi but got a room with a spa bath. The shower head didn’t work and the knob to turn cold to warm was very hard to turn, I struggled with it. Pictures online do not look like what was booked. Room was about 500 feet from the beach which was great! No room service, no bath essentials. Just a room that hasn’t been updated at all.

I was charged an additional twenty for booking through Expedia. The property managers child was yelling down the hall until midnight when the power went out for the third time. And they finally decided to leave the breaker off which meant no fan or lights. I had to use my phone flashlight in the restroom and shower. Plus it was hot and I sweat all night. Don't stay here, it's not worth it.

We rented two rooms (104 & 220) 1 night. Upon arriving, the manager asked the housekeeping lady on the balcony if room 220 ready? YES she said. (ready for WHAT is what we should have asked) Rm 220: Upon entering room: blonde and red hairs on the mattress. Within the hour we discovered: inoperable shower, dead electrical outlet, faucet leak wets clothes on counter. (My daughter had to come to our room and shower in 104). Rm 104: Dead electrical outlet When we brought up these issues to the manager, since we booked the rooms through Expedia the manager agreed to refund the fee for each room. If you stay here, beware "Ready" room 220.

For $184 a night, I expected better. There was trash in the parking lot and there seem to be people that are actually living here. Hanging out smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee in the morning and in the evenings. We wanted to open our window because it was stuffy, but there were no screens and people were right outside the window talking. The hotel staff were nice, and the beds were decent. For the price, I would go a bit more inland and probably get a better stay and value for my money.

The photo on Expedia shows the hotel with a beach front which is totally incorrect. It is a worn piece of property several blocks away from the beach. Very deceitful. The dresser and the chairs looked like worn out garage sale items. I refused to sit in the chair. There was a broken door lying in the hallway next to our door. The ceilings were cracked as well as walls. I refused to use the bathroom as the floor was dirty and bath was dirty as well. The bed may have been clean but didn’t want to chance a good nights sleep. There was no refund policy as it passed but I still chose to go to another hotel and had a great experience there. Expedia needs to verify this site and verify reviews
