Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My first impression? Low class, shabby establishment in questionable neighborhood. Management was informed of four minor issues and only 1 was addressed. I would give it 2 stars and definitely not stay there again.

We were unable to stay as it felt very unsafe for us as well as our vehicle. It was also disgustingly dirty and run down.

Clean room but horrible druggy motel

The room was fine but we were next to druggies. The lady was on the phone late at night and early in the morning fussing, cussing and yelling and also yelling at a guy with her. Horrible. I guess that’s what you pay for. If you’re trying to budget, expect those kinds of people there. Seems like they stay there for awhile.

This was in a sketchy part of town riddled with homeless. They also seem to allow homeless to stay on site as there were many cars in the parking lot full of junk. One car next to ours had rims of another vehicle that did not belong to the one in the stall. People sat in their cars for hours smoking marijuana and cigarettes. The area was loud and hectic with cars and motorcycles coming in and out of the lot all night. The room itself was dingy and beat up. Coffee machine was broken, refrigerator was dented, ac/heater that sounded like it was going to blow up. The beds had one extremely thin blanket that barely kept us warm at night. Will not be back and do not recommend this place to others.

Very disappointed.

The information given about the hotel was very deceiving. There was no hot coffee or tea provided in the lobby all day, long or in the evening. cheap coffee was provided in the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. You can feel the springs The rooms smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. The rooms were so outdated. The outlets did not work in the bathroom and the bedroom area. I had paid all the fees for the hotel room, but the hotel receptionist charge me the fees again. The location was excellent very close to the beach.
