Sheets were dirty the cover was dirty and it was not a good place talk to the lady about the covers and she said if I give you new ones they will look the same?
The staff at the front office were extremely helpful and friendly. Check in was quick. However when we got to the room ot had a musty stale smell to it.
Convenient location. Best price in area. Staff was nice. Checkin and out was easy and quick. Air conditioning was very cold. Ample parking. Shampoo dispenser was empty. The bathroom had an extremely moldy, mildew smell. Basic bare necessities for one night stay.
Room floor was not moped the TV didn't work until the last night we was there and even then channels were very limited only one towel one wash cloth and one hand towel now don't get me wrong the place was OK I've stayed in worse and I like to think it was an oversight on the mopping but you could not walk barefoot cause for feet would turn black very fast other than that it was quite the bed was comfy check was fast price was decent over 3 and half stars out of 5

The room and pool were fine. The staff need to work on their people skills.
Pet friendly with a decent pet area (just a heads up if it rains that area floods a lil bit. Not a dig towards the hotel just a heads up really). The rooms were fairly clean. The sheets had a stain on em that looked like it doesn't come out, but there was a cigarette burn hole in a corner of the sheet. No big deal as we usually pack our own comforter. Wear socks or flipflops/slides around the room floor is clean but not barefoot clean. Other than that its a room to sleep and get hot showers at a decent price about a 5-10 min drive to the beach (its not bad, we ended up going during NCAA volleyball tournament weekend so traffic was a tad thick on the main drag)
This property is great because of its easy proximity to the beach-which is so nice. The price is definitely right and it’s a no frills easy hotel to sleep at after a long day in the sun/water.
My only complaint is that I tried to access Amazon prime video app and the tv didn’t work and kept showing error codes. Not that big of a deal but would’ve been nice if it had worked
the bed had not been made. family with 3 kids living above our room. Ice machine broken. They moved us to a different room. did smell better but that's about it.

The checkin staff was wonderful! The cleaning crew was terrible!! There was no soap or shampoo in the dispensers. Luckily I always carry extra with me! Second day they came into room took three towels and left two, no hand towel or washcloths. I had to go get some. Floor was sticky and toilet looked like it had pee at the base of it. Also bed was not made when they came into the room. Ice machine did not work at all. Bed mattress needs to be replaced. Just was not happy with this hotel. The weather was great although we had to drive to the beach and no breakfast at the hotel. We did not use the pool it was too cool for that. I did complain to the front office. Oh and a fight broke out in the parking lot Saturday about 3 am!! Ugh!

The floors were dirty and sticky. Had to wear shoes inside
The room was disgusting! It smelled. Worst place I have ever stayed. The floors were so dirty we had to ask for a refund. Wouldn't give one so they gave us another room where the floors were still dirty just not as dirty. We were informed they do not mop at all until someone complains. Sheets and comforters have stains everywhere! The toilet was wobbly. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I will say that the front desk receptionist was literally the best ever! She deserves a raise and a better job. She's was the only thing fabulous about any of it!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was okay. Floor needed a good sweep and mop.
Went to check in. Lobby closed and was supposed to check in across the road at motel 6. Got over there and according to her system the reservation was canceled. I didn’t cancel my stay. I had to redo my stay. It was late so it wouldn’t let me do the Friday night. Ended up having to stay at the motel 6 instead and it was disgusting

The remote was seriously horrible. I had to aim 3 feet left of the TV to get it to work. Also, they were cheap on giving towels(1 wash cloth 1 hand towel). The room was very clean and spacious.

Room was okay. Smelled clean but didn’t look very clean. Grounds had lighting but was not very bright and a lot of areas very darkened. A little scary if you need to go outside to walk your pet.
