Generally positive staff interactions in several reviews — staff described as friendly, helpful and 'Excelente atención' — though some lapses (e.g., not addressing a man approaching guests) were noted.
Location
4.5
Mixed: some guests liked the location while others found it poorly located, difficult to access, and with trash/outdoor safety concerns near the property.
Room Quality
2
Poor — reports of bed bugs, moldy beds and pillows, items left under mattresses, strong odors, broken tiles, taped shower controls, difficult-to-unlock doors and poor lighting.
Amenities
3
Below average — AC sometimes worked but noisy, pool was dirty/limited access, no coffee pot in rooms, no ice bucket, and some broken furniture (chair).
Value for Money
6.5
Some guests noted the property was affordable, but many felt the severe cleanliness and safety issues undermined perceived value.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Limited mention — issues include leftover food particles and strong unpleasant smells in the microwave and a lack of in-room coffee; no dedicated F&B service details provided.
Overall Experience
3.3
Overall negative — multiple guests described horrendous experiences, early check-outs and refund requests due to cleanliness and safety; isolated positives (cold AC, friendly staff) did not outweigh problems.

Pros:

It was convenient to the highway and 20 min from cruise port.

Cons:

The room was dirty, furniture was chipped, shower paint falling off, bed was broken and slanted to the side, lock was broken - we moved the desk in front of the door and put suitcases on it. There are people living there full time that are on drugs and heavy smokers. We were in a non smoking room and woke up with tar coating our mouths and none of us smoke. Way too expensive for the "accomodations". No matter the price - don't go for it!

Hire cleaners it’s gross in there and update that weird chair it’s ripped apart and give your customers towerls and new
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The stairs were so small and slippery. The door was obviously been broken into it before and was just painted over. The blanket on the bed smelled like cigarette with holes on it. The restroom was disgusting. The toilet and tub look like nobody scrubbed it with hair and shit on it. The floor in the restroom had mold growing in the corner with the worst liner. There was absolutely no towels i’ve never been to a motel/hotel that don’t offer towels for a $70 dollar stay is crazy.

Pros:

It was ok for the price. It was labor day weekend and the cheapest place we could find. We were going on a cruise and paid for the cruise parking which I was a little concerned about but my truck was fine.

Cons:

The facility was kind of run down

Do not stay here!
Cons:

The toilet was not bolted down so it rocked back and forth. The smoke detector was gone, only wires hanging from the ceiling. Toilet paper holder was missing. Bathroom was tiny. Gnats coming out of the sink.

Avoid this place at all cost.
Cons:

I paid $100 for a roach motel! The motel I booked was not the same motel I saw online in the pictures. The TV didn't work. One of the lamps didn't work. The room was dirty. There were roaches. The overall condition of the place is absolutely horrible. The ONLY good thing was the guy at the front desk was super sweet and helpful!
