They gave me a room with someone in it already at first. The bathroom had no toilet paper and not enough towels or wash clothes. The tv didn’t work. It was hooked up but still couldn’t watch it, not sure why but nobody was available to get it fixed at night time. The room was very hot when we went inside even, took hours to cool it down. Not to mention the lock was messed up on the door. One of the other rooms had the window knocked out of it as well.

Angry Bride
My experience was horrible! This was my honey..place smelt of mold. Rain storm came in and rained on us in bed from ceiling leaking. Bathroom had broken window and couldn't cool , rain was pouring from fixture very scary. Reported to owner in office and she was very rude, as I was willing to even pay one night just give me a refund of 2nd. Told me no all motels was having issues. In excusable considering I paid $300 for 2 nights. Also roaches and only had sheets for us to cover up with. No trash cans or shower towels. Just thank goodness it stormed morning we checked out cause I wouldn't ever recommend this place. Discusting!! Would like a refund of the hassle. If they knew room was this way should of just told me before taking my money so I could of tried finding something else if possible. Rude office workers , in caring about what we was going through.

This is a very old building. The owners have done some renovations. It's not perfect but it's decent and has a little charm to it. The a/c was cold and the bed was decent. It's close to the beach and our room had a view of the beach. The people who ran it were nice. There's a restaurant pretty close that we walked to. Overall it was a nice one night getaway.

The Worst!
The service wasn’t great. I got there and the lady couldn’t find my reservation. The hotel is old and raggedy. The rooms are small and look really old. The furniture is old also. The fridge was leaking water like a faucet on the inside and the room had mold which they tried to cover with paint. My daughter got sick and we left. When i saw the lady earlier that day I told her about the issue and she blew it off. Worst place I ever checked into! Never again! Its full of weird people and there is no good lighting. Zero stars
