Felt safe. I don’t like That they don’t put coffee in the rooms. Their office is closed a lot, too. They don’t allow smoking on the property, which is fine, but there are cigarette butts everywhere by the sidewalk. If they aren’t going to allow smoking then they need to put an ashtray out there at least!

The hotel itself is a rundown dump, but the trade-off is it’s 140 bucks a night to be two minutes from the beach. We stayed on the first floor and we could hear every movement the people above us made, while we were there the P-trap for the sink in the bathroom, literally disconnected, they came and “fixed” it, but when we ran the sink, it still leaked water on the floor, I just left towels, the entire property could benefit from a washer rag and some scrubbing bubbles, and the exterior could use a mild pressure washer. I gave it a two star because it was cheap and because the staff did give us extra towels when we asked, which is sometimes difficult with these budget type properties. Would I stay here again? No, even for a budget property this was pretty dirty and loud. If you are going to stay here, I recommend staying on the third floor.

We got the two bedroom suite that sleeps 4. What that actually got was a bed in the living room. A table that sits two people. Dirty. The pool is no longer there. It has been submitted over. We thought we would have a living room room for all of us to hang out. We could not all fit. Super disappointing paid extra for for a two bedroom should’ve saved our money and got a standard room.
