Broken Crystal Palace.
Room(s) were dirty. Roach(Live) was found in one of the beds. No room cleaning or new towels for 3 days (entire stay). Very Friendly staff but clearly the simple logistics of room readiness was not / is not applied. I reserved 2 rooms for 3 days for my parents and inlaws. My MIL checked out early as a result of the poor room quality. Im sure this is good enough for Summer Beach Tourist who probably dont care for room quality as long as there is a party. But for a local, normal stay its not worth even the discounted price at Hotels.com

Very cute, clean and comfy
The new owners of this place really made some great changes. I haven't stayed here in years and I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is so cute, bright , and colorful. It has a nice little fridge and microwave, a nice flat screen tv, beautiful pool area, and very comfortable beds. Looking forward to a return visit.

Convenient and Close to Beach and Restaurants
Convenient place to stay as no other hotel accommodations nearby. The room was large and clean. We literally used it to shower and sleep. We spent all day at the beach. You can tell it has been updated. I would like to have a mattress cover and sheets that didn’t constantly come off the corners. The tv was great if you use apps. Maybe work on the hospitality. Coffee pots in the rooms would be a plus. Did not like parking in the back. Seemed a little sketchy. There was on old rusted out bicycle missing a wheel on the sidewalk by our room. Just added to the sketchiness. Minor things to address that I feel could add to the appeal. The price was good and seemed fair. No breakfast offered but could buy snacks and drinks in the office.
