If you're there to sleep ONLY, it's decent.
Pros:

I liked the cleaning room, the beds are comfortable and the A/C are kinda new, (they don't smell ugly). The room was small considering it was for 4 people. The shower was clean, small but clean. The front lady was very kind, I understand is not her fault.

Cons:

Ok. To be fair with my review, is that you're NOT offering what you're displaying. Totally NOT the same as pics. But, decent to sleep. I didn't like the condition of the swimming pool, the water was very green, smelled like clorox but...was super green....I got clorox burnt in (my buttom)for seating with my feet inside the pool, because there was no chairs to seat in. No towels where available for when we got out of the shower. Most of the outlets don't work. Check in says at 3pm, but the room was available till 5:30 pm. I overall think it's TOO pricey for the service they offer. The toilet was making water noises all night long.
Honestly my overall experience was that my child enjoy the beach and a swimming pool from the hotel. But, I guess even though the swimming pool was super dirty, my child had a great time in the beach. So, it's ok. I guess? :(

Last resort & plan ahead next time lol
Pros:

Location but too much traffic.

Cons:

The a/c unit was falling off the wall. It didn’t even work because it wasn’t even screwed into the wall. All the plugs were loose as well and didn’t work. It’s except for maybe two of them. The TV remote was broken. The bed springs stuck to our backs and we were supposed to get queen beds, but they didn’t have any at all in any room so we overpaid $300+ for one night and it was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at! Everything was broken no tub and the stall shower looked rusted and dirty, no microwave, no fridge; which it all said that it would come with when we booked it, and also the pool was closed and it doesn’t have a Jacuzzi. They don’t give you any soap either so if you’re planning to stay there, make sure you take your own towels and soap, etc. At least the staff was nice.

Great location, great price, you get what you pay for.
Pros:

The location is ideal, featuring excellent parking facilities. The rooms include two beds, a shower, and a mini fridge. The A/C was working well; it was pretty cold. I recommend you take your own pillows and blankets.

Cons:

In our room, the floor was soaked with water due to the air conditioning unit dripping throughout the day. We didn't have any shampoo, conditioner, soap, or towels. The beds were uncomfortable, and we found numerous roaches in the bathroom. Additionally, the space in the room was very limited.

Pros:

It's the cross between a MAN CAMP and local Crack den. Please don't take families there. If your looking to party and crash great! Families Nooo! The room ACs leak inside and out doors are all broken and not sealed. Everyone that lives in bottom floor and Locals or working folks. Most of which smoke all night and hang out.

Cons:

The pool water is murky and the pool is peeling bad. No one went in it at all! For 2 days not a soul. I wouldn't dare. The mattresses and hard and lumpy. The hot water smelled bad which indicates the water heaters are full of silth and crap.
