Disgustingly dirty. Stunk of weed, cigarettes and bodily fluids. Black mold growing on the walls. Holes that appeared to have been punched in the walls. The elevator to the 5th floor is extremely unsafe and the doors jammed shut and wouldn’t let us exit for several minutes. Found curly black hair in all the towels. Moldy showers. Hole in bathroom ceiling above the shower. Floors are tripping hazards with inconsistent leveling. Extremely outdated and gross. The halls don’t appear to have ever been cleaned. Honestly the whole place should be burned to the ground.

The property is run down and not being kept up. People were blasting music at the pool. We were only given two towels,no floor towel or hand towels, we had to ask for more. The room was clean, though sparsely furnished- no chair, no pictures on the wall. However, if you're on a budget, the pool and the location are great. If you can afford better, do get better!

The room was extremely dark, with only one lamp in the bedroom and one near the couch. The coffee machine didn’t work at all, and the table was broken. Every time we requested towels, it took them nearly an hour to get. For such a large property, having only one old elevator meant long wait times every single time. The room I booked showed a beach-facing view, but upon arrival, we were given a side view instead. While the staff was polite, there was only one person at the front desk trying to manage everything. The property felt very outdated — the mirror and sink were oddly placed outside the restroom, and the corridor carpet seemed dirty and poorly maintained. Overall, while it was still stayable, the entire experience was far below average. The excitement you expect from a vacation hotel room was completely missing.

There was nothing to like about this property. The room door to front and back entries were not secure and needs to be replaced. There are multiple openings in the walls that were patched up with some type of spackle, dry wall or some type of patch work. The walls themselves look to be patched un-esthetically and shoddy. The sink was patched up around the perimeter of the bowl like it was rushed. The bathroom didn’t have a shower curtain and the perimeter had some type of something on the floor that looked very unsanitary so we chose not shower. The room needs a total remodel from top to bottom. Will never visit again.

This hotel smelled like weed, it had hardly anything such as pillows, toilet paper and only two towels. It had no house keeping so you had to go down stairs for everything that you needed but that’s not even the worst thing, the worst part was that it was the third morning there was a man that came into my room at 9 o’clock in the morning and I had no clue who he was. I had mentioned it to the front desk and she said that it was maintenance but why was maintenance coming into my room when I was still sleeping and there was no reason for maintenance to be coming to my room.

The sheets and towels were stained. Our non-smoking room smelled of cigarettes. There was hair stuck to the wall of the shower and on the drain as well as stuck to the linens. There was NO shower curtain at all. The hot water did not work. The floors were dirty. We were moved to a new room but had similar findings in it. And the maintenance man was a total creep. He made sexual advances and made us so uncomfortable and afraid that we called the police to come while we removed our belongings and found another hotel to stay in. We are still fighting to get a refund. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

I liked that there were many things nearby to do and visit. I loved that it was right on the beach. The facility definitely needs some work, upgrading, remodeling. Everything was rusty, very old, chipped, cracking, squeaky, needs a complete upgrade everywhere. The toilet ran continuously. The walls are so thin you can hear people talking, sneeze, etc. The room needs a good cleaning, not just the trash and beds. There was hair, excessive amount of dust, and dirt buildup in every corner, behind every door, etc. It was "do-able", but I definitely didnt feel safe with touching the shower curtains, standing barefoot in the tub, touching door handles, etc. Would I stay there again? Possibly if there was no where else to stay within the price range. The kids really enjoyed it so really thats all that mattered to me.
