Recently remodeled. Prepare to pay A LOT to park

No issues with the property or staff. It appears rooms have been remodeled recently. Parking is difficult nearby if the parking out front is full which it was the ENTIRETY of the stay. We paid about $80 in parking fees nearby during a 1 night stay

Upon arrival we had to walk into the office to find an employee to get checked in. The rooms are in serious need of repair and updating. Floors were dipping from moisture, furniture falling apart,beds hard as rocks. Our TV had no batteries so we had no TV. There were empty donut boxes in the room. And a bag over the smoke detector. So clearly not cleaned before we checked in. And only 1 wash cloth. Great area but would not stay again

The room was very efficient and clean for my stay However the surrounding area ie sidewalk etc was very unkept. The picture shown is not accurate. I actually felt a little unsafe. The office was not open for coffee at 9am either . No hair dryer either .

This was a decent hotel for the low price, great location, and parking was easy. The staff was nice but only 2 of them could speak English. The first front desk couldn’t even speak one word which is unbelievable they hired him to work the front desk of a beach hotel. He also didn’t tell me a single thing about what’s offered or not offered so I had to make about 5 trips to ask him which was a chore since he couldn’t understand a word. The maid was sweet but also couldn’t even understand basic hotel terms like bed or ice. My tv didn’t work so had to ask to change rooms and no extras like ice or anything. So it’s a good place to stay for a super quick beach stay but definitely nothing more.

This place was a mess. They renovated but very poorly. Staff which I only see one was not friendly. I booked it with free self parking but after 10 pm it’s hardly any space to park and when I asked the front desk guy he said no extra space be here before 10 or no luck!
