No one was available to check out and they texted to just leave the key on the desk. If you say that the hotel is open 24/7 there better be a person to handle check out especially when you demand a $200 additional deposit.

I tried going 4 different times to the reception desk and no one was there. There was a power outage so we were left with no power for 6 hours ! What upset me was that the pizza place we wanted to order told us the power was going out before it happened which means the hotel had to have known as well and didnt tell anyone. There was dust in the rooms. I barely fit inside the shower .

I don’t even know where to begin to give a review. We arrived 2 hours early to inquire about early check-in and were denied. I requested to use the restroom and was told they did not have public restrooms. I explained to the lady we were checking into a prepaid room and she told us to go use the bathrooms on the beach. When we returned 2 hours later, lady at the reception was eating a peach and with her dirty fingers handed us our room keys. The accommodations were sub par . The noise from the street kept us up all night. The smell in the room, the refrigerator and the bathroom were awful. I had to spray Lysol when we first walked in since odor was so pungent. The smell inside the refrigerator was like somebody had vomited so we could not save any food in there and ended up throwing it out. The A/C unit was so loud it sounded like a tornado. When we checked out, there was a dead rat by our vehicle and when Front Desk was notified, they just shrugged. I would not advise anyone to stay at this place unless you do not mind the super loud noise from cars and loud motorcycles all night till about 3 am on Newport Ave and hearing drunk pedestrians walking by, loud talking, laughing, yelling all through the night. Worst place we have ever stayed at.

Horror Hotel!

Horror Hotel. Wouldn’t even consider it a hotel. We arrived in the evening around 8pm on check in day. The lady at the front was short, rude, and had no interest in us. She put us in room 1. The room itself was dull, had a moldy odor, and honestly I felt dirty in there. We slept there that night, and went about our day. Got back to the room around 7pm and come to find little cockroaches on the walls and floor in the bathroom. We were appalled and disgusted. We started to look through our things and the room itself. Come to find a dead roach in our bed, roach legs hidden in the sheets. As well as live roaches crawling through the bed sheets. I called the front desk 3 times and no answer even though the office hours were open during this time. By 9oclock after packing all our things. Went to the front desk and still no one was there, the office doors was open and no one came to the desk. Whatever you do, don’t stay here, it’s disgusting, unsanitary and the staff is rude.

This is a very convenient little inn. Pros: Accessable to the area Quite Fairly priced Cons: Lack of service or some amenities ( room was missing toilet paper and upon check out no one was at the front desk.) Deposit fee is kind of pricy for a night and being told that an early check in would be $40 dollars when you arrive 15 mins before is just off putting. Area not made for taller people hit my head twice going to room ( not really there issue more of an inconvenience for taller people) I would stay again even knowing the cons but just completely downgrade my expectation or spring another place that was comparable to the price of a one night stay.
