This place is terrible, mysterious, and looks like a crime scene. Please do not go there or make any booking. They steal my money and never return or give me a room. Someone should take serious action against them and shut down this fraud and scam, which is completely ongoing here.

This place is in a really great location across from an Italian restaurant and right next door to several bars. The staff was super friendly and the view was perfect. It's nothing fancy but if you just want to hang out at the beach it's perfect

Clean, quiet, right across from the beach

I booked an overnight stay in a double queen room. Everything was clean right across from the beach and I will be visiting again.

The place did not look like the picture. It was nasty and stunk and was not in a good part of town. They did not confirm my reservation or have me sign anything. I chose a property that I would pay at the property and they took the money out that morning before I got there that afternoon. I’ve been trying to get my money back bc we did not even stay there. It was 175$ per room for 2 rooms and it was not worth 50$ a night. So we ended going to another hotel to stay.

Great location and clean.

The price was great. If you’re looking for fancy it is not for you. If you’re looking for clean awesome location that won’t break the bank check it out. We plan to stay there on our next trip back.

Pros: Close to Porretto Beach, Seawall, Dinning, and bars. All within Walking distance… Staff seemed friendly. View of Porretto beach from the window. Cons: This is a very old property. Rooms are second floor or third floor without an elevator. So if you have heavy suit cases or coolers you have to walk it up with force. Stairs are very narrow and you have to proceed with caution. It is evident that the property received damage from a previous Hurricane. Remodeling is noticed but they could have done a better job in my opinion. The room was really small especially the restroom. Only one person fits in the shower. TV is an old 32inch Samsung and is driven by a fire stick. TV stays on the wrong output so when you turn it on it does not work. You have to manually touch the tv output with your finger and change it to HDMI. Room Light was out and they fixed the second day. The overall construction of the room is poor. AC faces the restroom. No house cleaning what so ever. Sand paper towels and limited toilet paper. Did not try the breakfast. Parking is shared with other tenants and customers from other bars and properties, so it was hard to find a parking spot. A lady came banging on our door at 10:30am which is not check out time. That was annoying.

Not at all what I expected based on the more recent reviews. Our room and shower were in obvious disrepair and towels were stained. Served its purpose but was a little disappointed.
