    Liked it was a walk to the beach and very convenient at a great price. The toilet paper holder was off the wall and under the sine. The hotel rack holder think above the toilet was falling off the wall.

    Nothing Door handle to room door to open from outside kept getting stuck and would not open. The foundation where the steps are feels as though it’s going to cave in at any time. There were roaches. I asked the attendant were there roaches before I checked in and she said no.

    The women at the front desk was absolutely amazing and helpful. I called to make sure I could get a room that was easy to access for our needs. She went above and beyond to make check in a breeze. Absolutely amazingly helpful and so so kind. I feel like if they would give the rooms a fresh copy of paint an maybe new or better bed side tables without tons of burn marks this could be a absolutely top tier place. It feels dirty bc there's stains on the walls and ceilings ect. But overall it's not dirty. No bugs. Loved that they don't have carpet. This was our second time staying here and I will stay again tho.

    It is close to the beach. I didn't like it because, honestly, it wasn't what I expected. I paid $585 for two nights, and when I did my search, I specified that I preferred a place with a pool; however, the pool was extremely dirty, and the bed sheets were dirty as well. If I had paid very little, I suppose it would have been acceptable, but I paid a lot of money only to encounter that. Honestly, I was disappointed; it wasn't what I thought it would be. Not a single guest staying at the hotel even dared to get into the pool.

Cigarette burns in bed spread, towels dirty looking. Kids jumping & running upstairs above me. All reviews said pleasant, it was not pleasant.

    It needs curtains. The curtains don't cover the windows so you see all the light. It's a little older but the price makes up for it.

    I was happy wihth my overall stay. I do believe the rooms could use a little TLC. Small things such as another trash can besides the one tiny one, cleaner and fix things like broken toilet paper holders. Other than that it was great. The stairs are not even or level. I fell going up the stairs. Carrying our food and whatnot. Ruined it all. Mostly because I feel the stairs are due for some TLC as well.

    Room had a stove/oven, microwave and a decent size refrigerator. Clean when we arrived. Really liked playing in the pool. Staff was really nice and loved how there was a restaurant right next to us that had a pool table and stayed open late. We could easily walk to the beach. Tub didn't drain well and drawers were a little dirty on the inside.

    Great people run the hotel. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Always look forward to staying with them. Could use a bit of paint, but being on the ocean, paints take a beating. Told hotel is getting repainted soon!

    The owner/manager is a lovely individual who really cares about his guests having a good experience. Very sincere and knowledgeable. We are already booked to stay there again as we had such a positive stay. Thank you. PS. The ocean is tight across the street and ocean views were everywhere. None.
