It was fine for a short overnight near the airport.
Pros:

The proximity to the airport and price were why I chose the hotel. It was within walking distance of the beach which was nice. There was a nice trail to walk along the beach.

Cons:

For the price, it was probably to be expected. It is a bit run down, but I would say it was about average to other places nearby. There were not any real sit down restaurants nearby- plenty of fast food type places and a grocery store with a deli.

Pros:

Location ok. Clean room. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Slum lord look. It was a high demand week but it's way over priced at $300 a night for a normal sub $100 a night room. Limited office hours. Could not get help when you needed it. After days of asking them to fill the shampoo and conditioner dispenser we had to go out and buy our own. Furniture was thrift shop quality at best. Parking lot was always full. Sketchy neiborhood.

Staff member sweared at me on the phone
Pros:

just called the hotel to make a reservation and the person who answered the phone sweared at me.He didn't give his name and said that he is the manager when I asked to speak to the manager. Very disturbing attitude. Going to make a complaint to Expedia as well. DATE IS 16/07/2026.TIME AROUND 11.30AM
