I liked that there were many things nearby to do and visit. I loved that it was right on the beach. The facility definitely needs some work, upgrading, remodeling. Everything was rusty, very old, chipped, cracking, squeaky, needs a complete upgrade everywhere. The toilet ran continuously. The walls are so thin you can hear people talking, sneeze, etc. The room needs a good cleaning, not just the trash and beds. There was hair, excessive amount of dust, and dirt buildup in every corner, behind every door, etc. It was "do-able", but I definitely didnt feel safe with touching the shower curtains, standing barefoot in the tub, touching door handles, etc. Would I stay there again? Possibly if there was no where else to stay within the price range. The kids really enjoyed it so really thats all that mattered to me.

The elevator is broke, there is no house keeping so you have no towels, you have to go ask at front desk for them, no cleaning room so the floor is sandy, we didn't even have an ice bucket!! The view was nice but don't lean on the rail it might break! The outside smells of marijuana, which lingers into YOUR room. It was a total disaster! DON'T waste your time or money here. It's not worth it. Poor management to say the least. I want a refund!!!!!!

BED BUGS

First the elevator was out of service, then moved to 3 different rooms due to either standing water on the floor or leaking from floor above all over towels. But the last room took the prize when within 5 minutes of being there we found BED BUGS!! The front desk really didn’t care. Now we are in dispute over the place. We had to leave rather than being eaten by BED BUGS.

No basic necessities

It was okay could have been better I expected more for the type of room that I paid for a penthouse didn’t have a broom or pots and pans no dishes nothing I could have gotten a cheaper room with all the amenities but other than that the space and the view was amazing I will book it again now that I know what to expect and bring with me a thousand dollars is a lot for two days without the necessities just my thoughts

Safety Breach: Unacceptable and Unprofessional

At around 1:00 AM, a man entered my room without knocking, claiming to be from the front desk. I’m a young woman traveling alone, and this was extremely frightening. He had a key and let himself in with no warning, no call, and no explanation beforehand even after confronted the next day. This is a huge violation of guest safety and privacy. I did not request service, and there was absolutely no reason for anyone to enter my room, especially at that hour. I immediately reported this to the front desk and still have serious concerns about how this could happen and what could’ve happened to me. I hope the hotel investigates this properly and changes its procedures to protect guests. Until then, I do not recommend this hotel, If you’re a female traveling alone and want a man coming in your room in the middle of the night this is your go to place luckily my before was with me but this is not accidental it was very intentional and creepy.

It was awful So the first room we had the pull out bed was disgusting and we talked to the guy that was working and he was high as a kite but they upgraded our room for free which I was grateful for but then we called the front desk to see about getting some pillows for the pull out bed and they didn't have any so we let that go and made do with what we had in the room but then we called the front desk to tell them that the fridge wasn't working which I wouldn't care but we had milk for our baby to drink and it ruined, they had brought a mini fridge to the room and it didnt work either so the stuff we did have all of it ruined, you couldnt walk into the office without smelling pot so strong and then when my man went to turn our keys back in because we was checking out and heading home he told the manager that the fridge didn't work they had brought and that our stuff ruined she made the smart remark that he couldn't get everything for free and he wasn't asking for anything for free he was just letting her know the fridge wasn't working they had brought up there for the replacement and the stuff ruined we had. The rooms definitely need upgrades so if u want to stay where some of the employees stay high including the manager and where the rooms are for sure falling apart this would be the place for you but if u have a family I wouldn't recommend staying here!!!
