Not worth the money
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

We were in room 116 and we address staff about the weed smell coming in our room and nothing was done and then there were roaches that were up by the ceiling. We went to the front desk and they move us rooms at 1am. By 11 am there was a new person in that room. In our new room our ceiling was dripping, my clothes were wet we could not set anything on table, and our bed was wet. We went down to the front desk again and they said they would send someone and they never came. The next day we checked out and I asked them about it and they said it was in the group chat so someone should of came by. I told them again no one came. We were not happy. The employees were no help

Overall, this is a decent place to stay. In need of upgrades throughout, however, beds were comfortable and location was
Pros:

Small and not overly crowded. Beds were comfortable. Beach chairs were available for rent. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Having to pay $15/day for parking when I have already booked and paid for a room on the property. Poor Wi-Fi connection.

Save your money long and stay somewhere better
Pros:

Great location on the beach,

Cons:

The room I booked, I did not receive, was then told it was all full and I was pretty much stuck with a smaller room then I paid for. The door also wouldn’t shut properly due to rust, we came back to the room multiple times with the door being able to open just by the handle no key needed. Also the whole facility had a dirty feel to it. Also I got better TV at my grandparents house in 2002 then this place, half the channels didn’t work and the ones that did the picture was so bad you could barely see what you were watching anyway.. the staff was friendly, they were just doing there job, the owners and managers need to do better..

I would suggest a better hotel.
Pros:

Room was clean. Hotel is on the beach.

Cons:

Staff was not friendly. Had to pay extra to park, which was across the road most of the time...... Really?? We arrived one hour early and the front desk staff rudely told us it would be an additional $40 to check in, so we walked around for an hour. $15/day to park......!! This blows me away! I'm paying to stay at their hotel and they want extra just to park..... Pick a better hotel.......

Pros:

The location to the beach was the only good thing about our stay.

Cons:

The floors and walls had cracks and mold. The furniture was way outdated; beds were very uncomfortable. Will not stay here again. They website was misleading with updated rooms and new furniture and that was not the case.

Pros:

Swimming pool and close to the beach. Staff I interacted with were very nice. Coffee available in the main office.

Cons:

Rooms are outdated for sure. Wifi didn't work but for about an hour total. A charge for parking that's $15 a night that you are there and they don't list it online anywhere.
