The biggest mistake of my life
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything, this is the worse place I have ever stayed, the longest 4 hours of my life my family and I was supposed to stay there for 3 days but I could have not forgiven my self if I had stayed. We were only there for 4 hrs as we arrived at 2am with 3 small kids and we couldn’t find anything near by at that time that was in a better condition. So we let our kids sleep for 4 hours and we ran out. The room was full of mold the chairs the beds the ceiling OMG I was a property manager and never seen anything like it before. The rooms smell horrible everything was dusty but a dust that has not been wiped away since the place open who knows when. As we are leaving we encounter bed bugs we almost die. Sounds funny and dramatic but it is the honest truth. Unfortunate we didn’t check for reviews prior as someone we know who we have never thought would stay at a place like this stayed here and was the one who referred us. We just needed a descent place to stay where we could park our boat so that we can enjoy the beach near by. I have never given a bad review to any place or anyone but people need to know before they book this place of what they are getting into.

Since it was just a overnighter, we were OK.
Pros:

Great location. Had a handicap room with walk in shower and high stool just as we asked.

Cons:

The floors felt a little sticky when walking on them in bear feet. The sheets and covers smelled of dryer burn. The room overall felt moist.
After making the reservations, Trivago notified me of a rate reduction of $16.00. I had already paid Expedia so couldn't take advantage of the reduction.
