The worst part was the room smelled horribly like marijuana from the neighbors who were blaring music all night long. Since the staff leaves at 10pm we couldn’t really do anything. Ended up having to leave early because our room was not inhabitable for my children due to the smoke smell. I do not recommend!

The room was dirty. Hair and dust everywhere. Hair ties in shower. Shower curtain with mold. Pool murky. The building itself really run down and dirty. Towels felt like plastic. Nails sticking out of dresser. Guest loud and fighting all night. Roaches coming out of sink.
-
But the coffee pot had grounds and mold , still had coffee in the pot. The mini fridge has milk in it and was filthy. Downstairs looked like it was falling apart, had areas taped off. The swimming pool has no railings for getting in or out. The ladder the had did not have any steps to get out I will not be returning

Nothing. Super run down and dirty. Terrible Run down and dirty. Building falling apart. Personal was terrible didn’t want to give out towels or clean room.

Unobsructed view and access to beach. Clean, comfortable bed. Not the cleanest otherwise and needed major repairs, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE BEACH!

First was an unexpected $50 deposit which was disappointing, but we did recover the deposit about an hour after checkout. Second, the Pictures on Expedia showed our room with a sleeper futon. There wasn’t one. Booked this room because of the extra space, but we made it work. Staff was helpful otherwise. Room was not top notch, but location was great.

Location and owners were nice but that’s about that was good. Run down. Dirty. Room was half furnished, ceiling falling in, something brown spilled down the bathroom door, carpet torn and frayed, concrete above parking where room are above marked off with caution tape, was crumbling and rebar either showing or dangling or already on the ground, wooden steps rotten to a point that they had detached from side railing and you had to go Up at an angled slant hoping the other side wasn’t gonna let loose at any moment. Thin bed covers. And so much more. Pics on website are deceiving if not deceptive.

Room smelled awful. Blankets were thin and couldn't control the a/c. The smoke that our neighbor from the room next to us was coming into our room somehow.
-
It was directly on the beach which was nice Definitely needs to be updated. Everything was run down, rooms had holes in the bathroom door, the whole building looks like the owners just gave up on it.

Everything about this hotel was horrific. Half of this hotel has literally collapsed. With yellow caution tape around it. Im surprised the city hasn't shut it down. That is what you first see upon arriving here. Pool was dirty and run down. Stairs are uneven cracked. So watch your steps. The outside of the hotel all around was in really poor condition and just plain horrible. I was dreading the room itself. Trying to open the door with a card that didn't even have a room number on it that looked like it was 50 yrs old. Door didn't want to open. There is too much to explain how dirty smelly very old the room was. I didn't even spend 4 min in there when I told my husband we were going to another hotel. Everything is so old needs updating. Honestly the whole Hotel itself needs to be torn down. For such an awesome location the hotel itself and the money we spent was definitely not worth it and was a waste. Don't waste your money and time at this place. It's such a shame that the owners have let their hotel get this bad. I went to turn the key in to the manager and explained how awful the room was. All he said was he'd give me a better room. I declined and we left to another hotel. I give this hotel zeros all around.

The location is great. But the room and the overall building are very old and outdated. Room is a good size, but not clean. Stain marks on the bed skirt. Part of the building seemed to be falling apart. I am amazed that it is still operating. Won't stay again.
-
It was quiet and we love it is so close to the beach. It was clean, but beds are a little hard. You have to bring your own pots to cook. In general, we had a good experience with our kids.

We were right on the ocean, amazing experience!
