It was a good stay. Location is great. Close to beach and plenty places to eat and drink.

This was my 3rd time staying here for the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon. Great staff and conveniently located near finish line area.

The room smelled like cigarettes the shower didn’t work and extremely dirty. The beds smelled like they were old
1-night trip

6/10

I purchased a room with a jacuzzi but got a room with a spa bath. The shower head didn’t work and the knob to turn cold to warm was very hard to turn, I struggled with it. Pictures online do not look like what was booked. Room was about 500 feet from the beach which was great! No room service, no bath essentials. Just a room that hasn’t been updated at all.

4/10

For $184 a night, I expected better. There was trash in the parking lot and there seem to be people that are actually living here. Hanging out smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee in the morning and in the evenings. We wanted to open our window because it was stuffy, but there were no screens and people were right outside the window talking. The hotel staff were nice, and the beds were decent. For the price, I would go a bit more inland and probably get a better stay and value for my money.

Not what was advertised on the internet. Photo was not even close to what the room was like. Front desk staff was great. Room and overall site was questionable. A lot of transients in the property. Wife did not feel safe.

The room was dirty, most things were broken and several bugs were found in my bag upon returning home. I would never stay here again for love nor money. The only positive side of this stay was the staff and leaving.

Don't stay here! We booked online and arrived at Reception a few hours later only to decide NOT to stay based on: its dirty (must sign a bed bug waiver); the rooms are not on the beach (2 blocks away); a "lady of the night" was out front trying to book a room/borrow a phone; there were fees that were not disclosed on the booking app; we were not allowed to speak with a manager when we asked to; etc. We have stayed in some pretty rough places but this was too much and we decided to lose the money rather than stay here. You have been warned! (Also, they tried to convince us to upgrade to the beachfront 3-bedroom house for an additional fee, which we also declined).
