Dump

The location is very good, but the condition of the hotel is run down and outdated! By far the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in.The saying goes, you get what you pay for!

You do get what you pay for.

My family and I wanted to go to the beach for our family reunion,from the prior reviews I really didn't expect much but is was a little better then I thought it was going to be. The kids enjoyed the pool it was clean the rooms were also clean although a little outdated. The only big problem that I had that it didn't have a t.v. in the second bedroom so all 6 of us had to gather around and fight over what we wanted to watch. Also the elevator didn't work for about 24hrs but they did have it up and running by the time we left so we didn't have to carry our luggage down. Overall the stay was good.

needs improvement

The hotel needs to be remodeled. In the bathroom the floor was coming up. Our fridge wasnt very cold either. There was a trashcan outside our room the was left overflowing for 2 days until we called. The only good thing i can say was the location. The pool was so dirty we wouldnt get in.

cockroach hotel!!!!

cockroaches crawling through cracks of the walls..we took pictures and immediately called management..they offered to fumigate the room the next day which of course was no help to the immediate situation and gave us a new room even though that was of no comfort.. we spent the night in the car instead and in the morning the actual manager refused to refund our money. absolutely one of the dirtiest hotels i have ever been to and i cannot believe the amount of money i paid to sleep with roaches.

Less Than Average

Our party spent a week at this hotel, and that was enough. At check-in, the hotel demanded an additional fee for using the online reservation. Also be prepared to turn over copies of your ID for every person on the reservation. Parking was mainly across a four lane road and you hada to walk back and forth. That lot adjoined some "low rent" places with a lot of activity at night. The rooms were average, but needed some updating. Though our room technically faced toward the ocean, the view was of a stairwell and cleaning area with a public garbage can outside. The walkway to the beach went next to a sewage pumping station. If you show up and are really unhappy, you are out of your money because they refuse ANY refunds at ANY time. Next time we will spend another few dollars and stay somewhere else.

Completely Dreadful

From the customer service, through the condition of the room, this had to have been the worst hotel I have ever visited. Whenever we arrived, the clerk greeted us very rudely. After we were made aware that each person in our group had to put up a deposit that was not mentioned in the booking process, we were given our keys and an inventory sheet that we had to fill out and return within an hour. Every towel, bed sheet, fork, everything had to be counted. not only that, the room was in horrible condition. Dirty linen, down to light fixtures that did not work. It was an overall miserable stay.

Comfortable room for a good price

We had a lovely time on our stay. Our days were spent either on the beach or in the pool, which was cleaned daily. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had two rooms and both were clean and comfortable. They were a bit dated but for the price they served their purpose well.

Disappointed, even for the money

At this hotel the elevator would only leave the 4th floor if you pushed 2 then went to 2 and down to 1. If you pushed the 1st floor and nothing else the door would close then open again until you pressed another floor. The rooms were pretty clean but I was under the impression I would have a 2 bedroom when I had one bed in the main room, no couch, and two beds in the back room. There was no central air, so I had to sleep with the bedroom door open to get the air from the back room while the guests in that room froze to death in the night. The pictures online are not like the room I was assigned and I was somewhat diapointed, but I knew that with the price it wouldn't be the best. I should've listened to the other reviews that said the hotel was old and needed updating. I booked a non-smoking room and there was the fresh smell of cigarettes and an ashtray beside the first bed. I had to buy air freshener and candles to make it through the first night.

THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!

For this place to be located on the beach was the worst. It was the worst hotel I"ve ever booked. I was ashamed to have my family here. Please dont waste your money or your time booking here. Not worth it.

Memorial Day Weekend

My family and I thought that we were getting a deal by staying here. BIG MISTAke!!! This was the worst motel/hotel I"ve ever booked. Don't be fool by the presentation. There is not an oceanview, it's a side view mostly. Please don't waste your time or your money staying here. My husband called it the Shady Rest Motel. I was ashamed to have done this to my family. We stay away from this place as long as we could until bedtime. The pool was a mess. Litter was every where. They need some major updates at this place.
