Pros:

The bed was comfortable, spacious room with mini fridge and microwave

Cons:

After driving 12 hours with a freshly injured leg, I had to hobble inside and then was rushed, and talked over. I booked the room online and it wasn't until after I booked it I received an email about a deposit fee. I called and asked about the fees and they said $50. I was booking the room for an emergency, not for vacation. Upon arrival they told me there was an additional $15 for pets. I said I called about the depsoit fee I should have been told about this, because I didn't have enough money. I was interrupted and talked over constantly. I clearly had a blown leg and couldn't walk. The desk clerk was sitting outside and saw me limping and went inside ahead of me to the front desk and proceeded to stare at me, instead of offering to help me. I understand the deposit is refundable but it was the way it was handled, very inconsiderate

This hotel is not worth any price!!! Don’t know why they are still open this is so unsanitary and disgusting! And overal
Pros:

This was the worst experience I have ever had. Staff was no help at all! The room I was given was horrible smelled like cigarettes when I went to ask for another room they dismissed it and said all rooms are smoke free that it must be when someone “VAPES” and that’s what I smell!!

Cons:

The room was horrible smelled so bad the ac had a bucket under it because it was leaking the bucket overflowed and no one cared to come clean it up, the faucet was lose for the sink and did not have any good water flow, the shower diverter was broken and had no way to make it come out the shower head. The bed was ripped and broken and hard! The lights were all out only had one light and had to use our phones for light! They “cleaned up” before I checked in, it was not clean it was horrible even stains under the toilet bowl! Worst experience ever had to stay because they would not refund my money!!!!!

Mold on both beds
Pros:

The location was awesome walking distance from beach and had a lot of stores walking distance from location.

Cons:

Place was very outdated, mold on the bed that I didn’t realize till leaving when I pulled off all the sheets. Restroom door would not completely close. Lights very dim. Door was also not able to lock completely.
