Matthew

United States, January 2025

8.0/10

My stay at this hotel was less than ideal, to say the least. While I appreciated its proximity to the beach, the overall cleanliness and comfort were severely lacking. The rooms were poorly maintained, and my experience with the staff was quite unpleasant. Definitely not good value for the price I paid.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in had bugs, dirty floors, and an AC unit that leaked water. It felt unkempt and definitely not like a place I'd consider clean or comfortable.

Service

5.0

The service was rude, and I had to ask multiple times for basic items like towels. The lack of attention from the staff was disappointing.

Location

8.0

The hotel is very close to the beach, which is its only redeeming quality. I appreciated the convenience of being near the ocean.

Facilities were non-existent, and the place felt more like a run-down shack than a hotel.

6.4/10

This motel has its ups and downs. While the main living space was clean and had comfy furniture, the overall condition leaves much to be desired. The bathroom definitely needs some TLC, and housekeeping service was lacking. A plus is the affordability, but based on my experience, I might look elsewhere next time.

7.0/10

My stay at this hotel was memorable for all the wrong reasons. While it was conveniently located just a couple of blocks from the beach, it felt more like stepping into a horror show than a vacation spot. The rooms were grimy and not very comfortable, despite a few surprisingly decent features. The customer service was atrocious, and I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you're looking for a uniquely dreadful experience.

6.0/10

Staying at this place turned into a nightmare. The location is pretty close to the beach, which is a plus, but that's where the good stuff ends. The rooms are filthy and downright disturbing, almost like stepping into a horror movie set. The staff is rude, and the amenities are nonexistent. I genuinely can't recommend this spot to anyone.

6.0/10

My stay at this hotel was quite an adventure, to say the least. The location is close to the beach, which is a definite plus, but unfortunately, the overall experience was marred by the condition of the facilities. The rooms felt like a step back in time-outdated and a bit grimy. Overall, I can say that if you're looking for a memorable experience, this place might fit the bill, but I wouldn't recommend it for comfort or cleanliness.

Rooms
