You get exactly what you pay for. It wasn’t “clean clean”, but for $60 a night with a seawall view, we will be returning. The family staff was very friendly and we felt safe. Thank you so much!

If it wasn't for the ocean view I would have asked for a refund. The room was very dirty, toilet, bathroom and floors. Beds and towels were clean. Staff was nice. For 100$ I was very disappointed to have to clean it up! They need better housekeeping!

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

Room was very out dated... First room they offered had roaches. So they offered another room which we ended up staying because we weren't able to find another room such short notice with Mardi Gras going on. The second room was 2 beds. They only offered a set of towels when 2 people were and TV didn't work staying

Value for the price

It has so much potential to be great! The hotel was very fun down, But it’s the value for the price. Staff was friendly and we had everything we needed for an overnight stay.

Place is a little run down but nice location. Access to the beach across the road was the best part of the trip. Staff could barely speak English and had to call a translator to finish our stay. They were very nice people and the rooms were nice, just a little dirty.
