Terrible customer service. Completely unresponsive and lies. They said there was a room available and no one was there when I arrived with a No Vacancy sign on the door. I traveled 200 miles for lies. Don't know how they are in business!

A few sachets of shampoo but no soap or body wash. No cups or glasses in the room and no coffee maker. Plus no TV guide on the channel numbers. And no way to work out how to turn on the AC. Overall a very basic and sterile room lacking in the usual amenities. We will not be staying here again.

Très petite chambre, lit inconfortable, pas de place pour poser les bagages de façon pratique, aucun verre pour boire même en plastique, serviettes qui laissent à désirer, piscine vide, pas de machine à glace etc. La seule bonne chose est l’emplacement de l’hôtel, très près de la plage et du pier. Secteur tranquille et sécuritaire. Dommage pour le reste.

Location was excellent. Staff very friendly. Upon entry to room, it smelt dank. We went to local store and got cleaning stuff and cleaned the bathroom and entire floor of hotel, fortunately it was a tile floor. I am positive those floors haven't been mopped in a long time. Bathroom door hinges were loose and had to lift door to get to close. The toilet seat was loose and moved around when you sat on it. Once properly cleaned, our stay was nice and being so local to beach, food and stores was excellent. I think the cleaning part should be more thorough.

Cons: The pool is under repair, the motel was noisy. It was hard to sleep with the light shining in the window, shutters would not close all the way. The air conditioner is a wall unit, it did not cool off the room. The bathroom was clean but old. The beds were lumpy. The beds had sheets and bedspreads, no actual blankets. The neighborhood was sketchy. The price was high. Located on an extremely busy street with no crosswalks for a few blocks. A lot of people park their trailers or RVs on the street so it is hard to see traffic if you are walking around. Pros: walking distance to the beach. Management was helpful. Parking was included. Parking was not strict. Pets are allowed. If you can get this place for a deal it would be worth it. For 300 a night? Look elsewhere.

There were no lamps on the nightstands. Only light in the bedrooms provided by one bulb in the ceiling. Sink area had no countertop no place for women replace their cosmetic bags or anything else. No tissues in the room no toilet paper holder in the bathroom. Only two towels available. Combination shampoo and conditioner packets were extremely difficult to tear open. It was a large gap under the front door which allowed cold air to stream in at night. Booked a queen bed but was given a full size. Way overpriced it more than $330. Probably deserved some credit on my bill as a result. Swimming pool was drained needed work.

We had no other option, so we had to suck it up. The property is run down but has potential to look so much better. We got the 3 beds that had a little kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen cabinet doors were hanging off, one bathroom had no toilet seat and was clogged, the carpets were horrendous, only one small trash can provided for the entire room(not even for the bathrooms), possible mold spotted in bathrooms, and our room was not ready till 7:30PM! Pros: walking distance to the beach, having 3 beds and kitchen. With the right management in place, this location can improve greatly. Until then, we plan to stay elsewhere.

Unfortunately, my room was lacking some expected items that the manager mostly remedied in a timely manner. 1) missing smoke detector (replaced timely) 2) broken lamp (not fixed per my decision) 3) TV did not work easily (manager had to show me how to finagle buttons to get to live tv. There was no way to figure this out without his help) 4) Towels no bath mat or hand towels in room when checked in. We finally got some after a couple days. 5) Bed had a thin bedspread and sheet only. I had to ask for a blanket 6) Bare minimum in the room - 1 queen bed, 2 bed side tables with lamps, one broken, 1 small table with 2 unmatching chairs, small refrigerator and 1 TV. 7)Swimming pool was empty and out of commission. 8) No breakfast, food or coffee offered. The bathroom was very nice and clean with a walkin shower. Knowing and accepting all these limitations, I would possibly stay here again. The price was right.
