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.

This is a horrible property and the owners overcharged for booking on a third party site. In the middle of the night, the battery for fire alarm went dead and caused the unit to trip with ear piercing shrills. The ice machine is dead and seems they have no urgency in providing ice. The room was dirty with sand on the floor. The TP ran out. All the front office gave was lip service. The parking worked. The location wasn't bad.

Walking distance to beach and dining was about the only good thing about this place. The photos shown on Expedia was certainly not the room we were in. The front of the hotel looks like your average budget friendly beach motel but the room we were put in was in a separate building. When we arrived there was a note on the office door to call a #, I called and someone came to help get us checked in. The Lady was very nice and said the room we’re in is a “studio unit”. They “ran out of keys “ so I had to download an app to be able to get in and out of our room. When she took us up to our “studio” I was shocked at the condition of this place! It is clearly in the process of being renovated and was not ready for anyone to stay there!! It was hot (no A/c), smelled like paint and was filthy! The “patio “ fit one chair and the wall was literally rotting away! The bed was up against a window with a broken screen that bugs were flying in from. The bathroom was ok until you saw the shower! An old jacuzzi bathtub with disgusting buildup in all the jets, hair, bugs and a rusty drain and shower head. I couldn’t bring myself to take a shower in there. The bed sheets smelled stale and like paint. Thankfully we were only there for one night on our drive home. This was probably the worst motel we’ve ever stayed at! Absolutely false advertisement!! I would have never booked had I know this is what we were getting! I honestly feel we deserve some sort of refund.

This hotel is horrible. The beds were lumpy. The shower was dirty. It had no fire alarm. The service attendant was rude and not at all helpful. We booked and paid for 4 guests but only received two towels and one shampoo and conditioner. It has no air conditioner and only a noisy fan that you are required to use to ensure room does not get stuffy. The window had no screen so even if we had wanted to open the window to let in a breeze it was not safe to do so. I am very disappointed, especially since this was a birthday trip with my 88 year old mother. Will never stay here again.
