Front desk staff were lovely and allowed early check in. On arrival, person who let us in used odour spray right before we entered. Smell was overwhelming to the point we could not stay. Room was very dated, cupboards in kitchenette falling apart and cob webs above lights. Advertising misleading as it describes "direct beach access" we ith pictures of the beach in listing. Beach in fact 8 minute walk down the road. Very disappointed. We requested refund based on these findings and told by front desk that the manager would be in contact with us. Hours later and we still have not heard back and had to book elsewhere.

Needs TLC.

What was wrong: Window coverings too small &/or broken = no privacy; no smoke detector; no door sill on door to keep bugs and weather out; rotting trim in bathroom; mold/mildew on tub/tile; lack of plug ins &/or functioning plug ins. What was good: Pleasant and polite staff; clean beds, bedding and towels; Nice yard and free access to mini golf across the road.

Lovely staff but very few items in the kitchenette so not usable. I had to ask for a few utensils so I could eat my breakfast. Curtains did not hang right and the bedroom curtains were too small for the window.

When we checked in the staff were accommodating, explained to us about the free mini golf course and where we can access with free ice and our spot for free parking. They also showed us the access to the beach for a short walk. Inside our room spacious. Washroom was cleaned except that the floor wasn’t cleaned for our three days of stay. Kitchen was okay curtain was undone one ring, no ec

The staff were great but the cleanliness was bad there were hairs all over the room place we found someone else’s sunscreen under the bed . You can tell they don’t care about the cleanliness inside . It smelled horrid as well, the outside has windows in the back and it’s full of there junk . For the amount they charge to stay it should be fully renovated . The price is way to exspensive for the dirty mess and the quality of the place .

Rooms need updating and bathroom was a bit dingy. It served its purpose for the two nights we stayed there but in the future I would stay at the Coast right next door. The pros to this place is the area it’s in. You can walk to the beach and restaurants within 10 minutes.
