Pros:

The rooms were decent but when I showered I noticed the towels folded had dirty marks on them I called to request more towels and I was told I had to go pick them up in the office. After showering that’s just not something you want to leave the room for but it wasn’t so bad

Pros:

Staff is always friendly. The location is ideal. Breakfast is good and coffee is always available.

Cons:

We have stayed here several times and each time gets a bit worse. Our room wasn't very clean: there was hair on the floor and the towels were questionable. All three bottles in the shower were completely empty.

We chose this hotel for a small trip anniversary stay and it was extremely disappointing although we didn't let this
Pros:

The location was quiet and near a beach

Cons:

We didn't have hot running water night 1 and in the morning. Our microwave had no working buttons except start and only worked once. Cleaning was trying to come in around 9am but out checkout was at 11pm

Pros:

How close to the beach

Cons:

No rooms have a beach view. And the restroom was very small. You can't open the door all the way. Outdated ac/heat unit. Beds felt old and there were two different bed sheet sets on the beds.

It really wasn’t too bad. My husband and enjoyed ourselves.
Pros:

Close to the dunes and the beach. I also like that I would be able to open a window and get fresh air into the room.

Cons:

I had to ask housekeeping to sweep our floors because the floors were nasty. The pillows are really hard. I suggest you bring your own pillows and very uncomfortable.

Such a beautiful place and great potential, but poor maintenance and room management.
Pros:

Great location, spacious room, friendly staff

Cons:

Our room had no soap or a blanket, we were very cold at night. It has large patches of stickiness on the floor, we were told these were left over from a recent renovation and can’t be cleaned. Electrical sockets were broken, the trash cans outside our window super full.
The hosts never responded to us on the Booking platform.

Never coming back here!
Pros:

It was close to the beach.

Cons:

The floor was dirty with ants. The bed frame was dusty/dirty. Microwave was not clean (didn't even bother to use).
No shower gel . The room lock was not dependable.

Breakfast was poor. Scrambled eggs were salty. Not enough food. Plates were not available that u have to open the cabinets to look for it. The trash bins were full.

Goodluck if you stay here!!
Pros:

The location

Cons:

I showed up after driving 4 hours and it was 10:30pm at night. There was no one in the lobby to check in with. My son was in the car waiting and was tired and we needed to get to sleep. I waited 38 mins before someone arrived to check us in. She was rude and said she just went on a smoke break. I told her i was waiting for over 30 mins and she said “whatever”. While i was waiting there was a woman dressed like a hooker approaching cars. Then all of a sudden several cop cars drove up and surrounded her and the car she was getting into. This all happened while my teenage son was watching. We finally got our room keys and the room was freezing. The heat was not working. Went to take a shower and there was no hot water. There were only 3 channels on the T.V. I usually dont leave reviews, but this place is horrible. Beware this place is a dump!! Also there was no parking. Had to park on the street outside the hotel and hope it was still there in the morning.

Overall, it was ok.
Pros:

The staff were great. The location was close to the beach which was nice.

Cons:

The bathroom was a little too small, the remote had trouble working, and our mini fridge was broken. Good thing we brought an ice chest.
