  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Arrived and check in office was closed with a number to call. Didnt answer on first ring. When I finally spoke to someone they told me they overbooked and didnt have a room for me.

    The website is outdated. This property looks nothing like the pictures. Your room provides two towels only, no washcloths. and a mini fridge is the only extra in the room. The TV didn’t even work. We could not figure out how to even check in and then once we were checked in, we could not locate staff members to get anything we needed or to ask questions. The rooms were not Terrible but a place to sleep is all it was.

    Very clean, roomy, and Nikki is the best!!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    When we checked into the room, we had one towel. There were no clothes racks for hanging your clothes, no dresser for storing your clothes, a very small TV hanging on the wall, the hot water in the shower did not work correctly, and the room was not clean. Not to mention there was one ceiling light by the door and it was very dim. We had to ask for a lamp to plug-in on the other side of the room so we could see. It was way overpriced for what we got. The amount of trash piled up outside of the rooms by the trash cans was nasty, and it smelled terrible. There was a large gap under the door, which was kind of creepy. The beds were very hard.We were told that they were remodeling, I hope once the remodel is complete, that it is in much better condition than it is now. The only thing that it had going for it was the fact that the room was large and it was quiet and they staff was very nice.

    WiFi only worked on the phones and the shower light quit working staff wasn’t around door was locked

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room was nasty, broken window, door has a big crack would not lock, light didn’t work just a small lamp, the lobby was closed you had to go to Thai kitchen type area to check in with someone with a laptop, they don’t hardly answer the phone. It is a one person ran show. But Niki was nice but she needs some help for sure.

    Friendly staff and convenient location.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Got there to check in; nobody was there. Had to find another hotel to stay in. Staff would not answer the phone even after calling multiple times.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Enjoyed our time great staff

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Couldn’t find the entrance because the lobby was gutted from ‘construction’. Was a dump. If it was the last place on earth available, I’d pass.

    Decent for a weekend 👍I think it's a cheap quick stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean room, No Bugs, but very basic only has a fridge, bed, 2 night stands with no drawers and a tv with 1 channel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was very clean pool could use some TLC. Staff was so nice and helpful!!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I genuinely enjoyed my stay. My wife and I planned a last minute trip to the beach for our anniversary, and we’re both so glad we picked here. It’s right across the street from the beach, there’s a great coffee shop right next door, there’s a great restaurant just two buildings down, and best part of all is that it’s affordable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a weekend getaway. And Mrs. Niki was great

    I’d stay again

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Did not even stay. Walked in the room and there was dirt everywhere. The air was extremely musty. The top lock on our door was broken. There were no comforters on the bed. The table was broken. And the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Walking outside it smelled like weed, and at night had no lighting. Everything there made me scared for my safety.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This property was absolutely horrible!! We didn't even go inside. Very scary for 2 60+ year old women and 2 teenage girls!! The window units were hanging out of windows, rust running down the outside walls!! Very seedy place. Their advertisment was completely misleading, it shows a nice hotel on the beach, it is not! They did refund my $ immediately. I don't recommend this place at all.

    Nice and quiet
