Property definitely needs some updating, but we didn’t pay too much for the stay. Double room and one mattress had no springs…sunk to the platform. The walls must he paper thin as we heard our neighbors until the middle of the night. Air con was terrible and loud. It stopped working in the middle of the night and had to have the TV volume up way too loud just to hear.

I really hate the AI responses
This is your average 50's era beach motor court hotel. It's dated. The renovation is a little sloppy and amateur. But it's a reasonable price for a hotel close to the beach. What I DESPISE is all the 'understanding' AI responses claiming that they care and will fix the issues. They don't. They won't. The AC still doesn't work well. The toilet is still wobbly. The TV is confusing to use. The floors are kinda dirty. No matter how many reviews mention these things and how many times the AI "understands" the problem and promises to correct it... the AC still won't work. The toilet will still wobble. The floors will still be dirty. It's a budget beach hotel. It's OK. If you are picky, you won't like it. Also, you have to turn the AC down to 60' to get it to work at all. I think it's offset by 10' to try and get people not to use it. Set it to 60', you'll get 70' and it's comfortable.

Nice atmosphere
Our overall experience was very good. The staff was friendly. There were no issues checking in or out. Housekeeping came around daily and asked if we needed towels or anything. The room was one of the renovated ones so it was nice and clean and smelled clean. The bathroom was a little dated still and the toilet was wobbly and the toilet paper was not great. One bed was more comfortable than the other. The room did come with complimentary toiletries like soap, lotion, shampoos/conditioner, and makeup wipes. The fridge, microwave, and ac worked. It was in a great location close to restaurants and the beach. We would stay there again.
