It is an old hotel so it does appear run down and in dark colors. There was rust in my bathtub. But it was cheap and it was very convenient to where I needed to be.

Disappointing

This is a motel that has converted one hallway and 2 floors to hotel rooms. The room size (and bed quality) was great but this is not for a business traveler. Front desk staff were nice/helpful but the area and condition of hotel was subpar. Also no soap in the bathroom, what looked like stains (blood) in the shower and shower door didn’t close. Quality of entire experience was poor.

Worst Hotel Stay Ever

The room we stayed in for 2 nights looked nothing like the pictures on the Hotels.com website. Attached photos speak for themselves. Worn out dated furniture, dirty smelly carpet, soggy mattress with polyester sheets, small window facing the interior car park (ours was a "dog friendly" first floor handicap room) Breakfast room is tiny and seats max 12 people. Breakfast: choice of prepacked egg sandwich warmed up in microwave, toast with avocado/mayonaise spread, or yoghurt and fruit. Parking spaces on the inner part of the property are extremely narrow and fill up quickly. Outside parking lot is dark. We were approached by a homeless person there one night - scary. Hotels.com website stated pet fee was $ 40 maximum per stay, but we were charged $40 per night plus tax. The fornt desk clerk said the website needed to be updated.

Priced appropriately

Price reflects what is delivered - a decent room with free breakfast & free parking. Don’t expect much more. Friendly front desk but housekeeping left the soap & shampoo receptacles empty. Found that out while in shower. Otherwise OK stay.

Great Price & Location

really nice Inn super close to the beach. Comfy bed & super clean. Parking is VERY small but I’m glad they have it. No complaints really w/our stay, our check in staff was OKAY & when we were ready to check out there was nobody there, just left the key in a little tray. Would def consider staying here again for the price & location.
