We didnt stay because of the bed bugs. We grabbed our thing and booked a room at Home2 Suites.
Pros:

The room was large.

Cons:

There were bugs on the bed, the bath tub was dirty and there was a hair on the toilet. We left and went to Home2 Suites. It was only $75 more and it was amazingly clean. DO BETTER MOTEL 6

It sucked!!! I want a refund!
Pros:

The only good thing i have to say about this shithole is that the bed is comfortable and the location is the close to the beach. It was not worth $50/ night let alone the fact that I paid $352/ night! Granted it was a last minute booking and during a holiday weekend.

Cons:

See above

Pros:

I liked the location because it close to everything.

Cons:

Our room smelled like mold and it was musty, the bathroom light didn't work half the time, you couldn't log into the wifi because it was unavailable and the DirecTV was out. I went to the front office and told Nikki that we couldn't get anything on the TV and all I was told was that there is 42 channels and sometimes you get them all and sometimes you only get two and they were trying to find another provider. There were also roaches crawling in the room as well. This is the worst experience we have ever had with a hotel and we will never stay here again.

It was very disgusting in my Room
Pros:

It was convenient

Cons:

My room was very nasty there was mold on the walls from too much moisture in the room the covers felt like they were wet and it was uncomfortable trying to sleep because of all the moisture you'll be sweating up under the covers but it's cold in the room but it's the moisture up under the cover. And sauce a couple roaches had to kill them in the room but besides that the room was just very disgusting and uncomfortable everything looked and felt nasty
