Furniture old and needs updating, bed smelled like bleach, shower had no water pressure or ever got hot, WiFi didn’t work, tv reception was poor, if you just need cheap, quick overnight, but I stayed for week and I wasted my money, pay extra a get cancelation ability just in case, or pay for the good hotels, I think the bargain isn’t one

Courteous service, great price, close to shopping and not far from the beach. This is a motel like place, not a hotel. So clean but old, no special services you might expect at hotels vs motels.

The room was fine but we were next to druggies. The lady was on the phone late at night and early in the morning fussing, cussing and yelling and also yelling at a guy with her. Horrible. I guess that’s what you pay for. If you’re trying to budget, expect those kinds of people there. Seems like they stay there for awhile.

The information given about the hotel was very deceiving. There was no hot coffee or tea provided in the lobby all day, long or in the evening. cheap coffee was provided in the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. You can feel the springs The rooms smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. The rooms were so outdated. The outlets did not work in the bathroom and the bedroom area. I had paid all the fees for the hotel room, but the hotel receptionist charge me the fees again. The location was excellent very close to the beach.

Inn has a swimming pool. Place is old but still decent and the room has a microwave and a frig. It is decent because it has the basic amenities for a stay.
