I left at midnight and got a different hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE.
Pros:

Nothing. It was full of bugs. Not just one or two. Infested.

Cons:

Probably the aforementioned bugs. I walked to the bathroom and thought I was walking on Rice Krispies.

Add to that the zero on site staff.

Would have been better if it was cleaner and staff in the building
Pros:

Location to the beach was perfect

Cons:

No on site staff, had to call to check in and wait 20 minutes for someone to answer. When asking for the door code I kept telling the woman I was outside the main door and she just kept asking if I was out front and not giving me the code.
The room was not worth the $800 I paid for it, the bed post was broken, the floor was dirty, the bathroom was dirty and there was no hand soap so I had to buy my own. The tub was dirty as well.

Pros:

Location! Right by the beach

Cons:

They didn’t give us the door code, the shower flooded the bathroom, the internet was so bad that we couldn’t watch tv, and the sheets were stained.

The room was disgusting and I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying here.
Cons:

It was very dirty, there is so front desk or anyone to speak to in person. I also have not heard back about being refunded since we had to leave less than an hour after check in due to the condition of the room.

Enjoyed it
Pros:

Walk across the street to the public beach access. Next to an ice cream parlor. Nice place for people wanting an old school hotel and not the holiday in express. Good parking. Enjoyed the trip back in time.

Pros:

The property was close to the beach. But the house keeping was terrible. The room looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. The dust on the fans was really bad and the shower had hair and what appeared to be mold and something smeared all over the walls. I definitely will not stay there again.

Pros:

Title: Filthy, Unsafe, and Insulting Response – Do NOT Stay Here!

I have stayed in many places over the years, and this was by far the most disgusting and poorly managed property I’ve ever experienced. This place should not be advertised at the rate I paid — it felt like a $50-a-night roadside dump, not a $200+ vacation rental.

Here’s what I encountered:
• Black mold in the bathroom and even on the doors, a clear health hazard.
• Thick layers of dust coating the ceiling fans, window ledges, and even the walls — clearly no one has cleaned this property in ages.
• Lamps literally falling apart.
• The entire room smelled musty and damp, making it feel unclean and unsafe.
• Trash scattered throughout the backyard, including a dirty diaper just left behind.
• To make matters worse, there was an animal scratching inside the walls at night, making it impossible to sleep.

When I reported these issues to KEES Vacations management, they only offered a pathetic $30 “goodwill” refund, which is beyond insulting given the condition of this property and the amount I paid. It’s clear they have zero concern for guest safety, cleanliness, or satisfaction.

This property is completely unkempt and neglected. I will never stay at a KEES property again, and I strongly urge others to stay far away. There are plenty of clean, well-managed places to stay — don’t risk your vacation, your health, or your sanity here.

Bottom line:
• This place is a health hazard.
• KEES management is dismiss
