Roaches and damp

Roaches. Yep, that’s what you want at these prices. Sitting in our room a roach runs out from under the fridge. (See photo) there were other bugs as well. The ceiling was dirty and you can tell the bare minimum is put into maintaining the rooms. Also the room was slightly damp including the linens. I was wondering why there was a dehumidifier now I now. After I took a 5 minute shower with the fan on, there was visible condensation on the tables. The bed was what you expect, below average but thankfully clean.
Roach we killed in our room

The entire place needs renovation. We had a dead cockroach in the floor, very weird bathtub access, look like the tub had been used to store paint. Rubber on the bottom of the room door is shredded and the safety strips on the stairs were loose and trip hazards.

I liked how the hotel was near the beach and they had their own shower to clean off. parking was available. I didn’t like how there was cockroaches or that the rooms were kinda tight. For a cheap price, it wasn’t too bad.

No one came and got our dirty towels or picled up trash we were told to put outside by the door. No one checked in to make sure everything was going good or to see if anything was needed. Just gave the key card and told me the room number. Not friendly or inviting. The one good thing was the Cahoons store across the street.
