Staff were great, all friendly. This place is a renovated Motel 6. It needs a LOT of TLC. A lot of paint and cleaning. Mold in bathroom. The AC in our room would make an intermittent rattle that made it hard to sleep.
Pillows were small squares. Reminded me of throw pillows. Not comfortable.

I was so disappointed with this hotel. I really dont believe the reviews giving this hotel a 4 star. It is outdated, the rooms are small, bathrooms are so tiny and had stains on the wall. The appliances were old in the room, and to top it off at check out time the elevator broke and we had to carry all our luggage downstairs. The only thing that is good about the hotel is the location . If they gave me a room for free I still wouldn't stay here again!!

Room was nice and clean and had a beach vibe to it. Front desk was not to friendly at check in or check out. Had to pull details out of her about breakfast hours and general info. On check out I asked for a receipt to show a zero balance and that I was charged the correct amount and that nothing had been added to the bill. The lady was not friendly at all and told me you booked with Expedia you can get it from them. I told her all the years I have never had to get it from Expedia. The hotel has always offered a receipt. I will never stay here again. I was booked for high floor and got the 2nd floor. Only one elevator working. And it was Slow. The location is great on the high note.
