Run down wreck. Tv is impossible to turn on, even the staff couldn’t figure it out! Then at arrival, they demanded $18. More than the Expedia rate. Or you can’t stay. The wall plugs to charge your phone, half didn’t work No screens on the windows, anyone could climb through and steal you blind No A/C No staff on site when you need staff. Just a nightmare I’m only 71 yrs old, traveled the world. Perhaps there is a worse place to stay. For now, this is number one.

There was for sure no ocean view. The room was very unkept. One of the bathrooms didn’t have a waste basket, toilet paper holder, and there was no bar of soap to even wash your hands with. The shower was dirty. There was soap left over from the previous people who there and it was in horrible shape. I will never stay there again! It was not anything that I expected. It looks really nice online and the pictures look really pretty but it’s total opposite of that. This was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life. When I checked out, I told the woman who takes care of the front desk about how bad the room was and how dirty the shower was and she just shrugged her shoulders and didn’t say a word. Horrible front desk service. This hotel needs to be condemned.

Expedia misrepresented the room being rented. It was not on the beach and was not nice at all. Dirty floor made your feet black. Bugs in the room bathroom not cleaned after last guest. I blame expedia mostly for misrepresentation.

Room was clean, bed was nice but there was a strange odor in the room. The in room coffee pot still had foul smelling water in it so I went elsewhere to obtain coffee. The shower head needed cleaning to improve the flow. Otherwise staff was ver helpful and welcoming. The decor is very appropriate and location is supurb.

Do not book through third party. I was overcharged. Look at the shores site. Half of the pictures on this site aren’t even the hotel I stayed in. Definitely deceiving. You’re not on the beach, but you are in walking distance. Things were questionable here. I think people lived at the hotel…? Very odd vibe. Luckily we were barely there. Wouldn’t go back.

Charged an extra charge for a "third party booking". Cold water for shower. Truly nothing special. Go down the street and pay the extra for the view. I wish I did

This place was disgusting. The room was nothing like the photo, the water only got to luke warm for our showers, the towels were dingy, the walls were very thin and you could hear every sound. I believe there were people who lived there full time and the staff was rude and completely useless. Then to top it all off one of the beds had bed bugs and we left with bits covering our entire body. We were also over charged and the hotel refused to credit us for the double charge of the “hotel fee.” This place should not even be an option on Expedia it was terrible, disgusting, and completely gross and the staff was rude, unprofessional and awful, they even hung up on my husband when he tried to talk to them about the over charge. Do not stay here!

Needs an Upgraded hot water system as the water was cold or Luke warm at best plus the bathtub leaked and it was hard to get jacuzzi going and stopping. Beds were way to soft and you could feel the other person move your body when they get in and out if the bed because there was no support. Chairs should be wider and more comfortable. The tv came on in the middle of the night.
