Give it a try!

Second time staying here in 2 months. Good for the price; walking distance to beach; having a kitchenette is always a plus; guy checking us was very friendly, helpful , and allowed us to do early checking at no extra cost. Thank you.

Was placed at the wrong hotel. 2 washcloths 1 towel and a lot of roaches.

The only highlight of the stay was the oceanfront location, but be ready to bring your own blanket since they only supply a sheet, and watch out for the palm-sized roaches that might surprise you.

Room not very clean

It was a great location for the beach but the room was not clean. That's my biggest complaint. There was a sock underneath the air conditioner (the air worked great though), a balled up tissue on the floor, and some crumbs (like from a cracker) on top of the bed, plus some other small things that needed a good cleaning. At least there were no bugs!

NEEDS TO BE CLOSED

There were food, dirt and blood stains on the wall and mattress. The shower was dirty, as well as the bathroom itself. Floor had not been swept. Front desk attendant was rude. Outlets were covered in filth. Shower and bathroom door would not close. Towels had stains on them. We had to resort to buying our own bed set in order to sleep and remained walking in shoes.

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. My room was dirty other than clean sheets and towels. Fridge had rust and mold. Shower handle fell off. Multiple surfaces not wiped down (greasy fingerprints on tables). Roach in the overhead light. People in the next room having fights in the middle of the night and there were men walking back and forth in front of my door for an hour last night at 1:30 am smoking cigarettes and joints. This was coming through my ventilation system but I didn’t want to turn the fan off because the fight between a man and woman was so loud. There were kids playing in the parking lot the night before, which scares me for them! There were multiple drug deals going on in the parking lot on Friday night, all night long. Was supposed to travel with my infant granddaughter. So glad she got sick and had to stay home. This hotel needs to come off your website, Hotels.com! I could deal with the less than sanitary room, but the safety issues are not ok! My hair dryer cord caught fire this morning from faulty wiring in the place. This place needs to be condemned! I literally slept with a table in front of my door for safety purposes! DO NOT ADVISE STAYING HERE!!!

This places was terrible. I pulled up and pulled out! It looked like a trap house(drug house). People fixing cars in the parking out, people hanging out in the wall way, police presence( btw its 100 degrees outside)....I did not feel safe staying there. I end up having to book another place. I reached out to Expedia as soon as I saw the location was a trap house opened a ticket then I wake to a missed call from.tbis location at 12:45am..... UNACCEPTABLE . Trying to get a refund from Expedia but not being successful due to location policy which is crazy to me! I feel due to Expedia representing them I should be able to get a total refund! I would not recommend this locatiom to ANYONE!
