It was good for a quick stay. The room was clean. It is a old beachside like hotel with rusty hinges, but comfortable and convenient. The breakfast should just be called cereal and bread with apples there was nothing else on offer. The hotel value for the money gave us options to eat elsewhere.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed.

Alright, let's start with the positives ; 1) Super friendly staff 2) The bed was really comfortable 3) The place was really quiet , couldn't hear any sounds. Now let's do the negatives: 1) The breakfast was a joke, I have never seen a breakfast as bad as this one, I am not sure if the owner reads these reviews... but if you are reading this, you can't claim you offer breakfast. This is what they got for breakfast : Apples, bread ( not even outside the plastic bag), coffee and 2 cereals, butter and 1 type of jam, milk and orange juice, muffins ( Who eat muffins for BF??). Not even water was available. 2) They don't clean your room everyday. Not even to give fresh towels. 3) Everything is old, like... from the 90's I guess or even older, the aircon could not cope with the hot weather 4) The whole place feels like it was abandoned, the pool area with lots of trees fallen down, the gym which was permanently closed , The pool bar was also closed, I am really not sure what happened on this place, I guess at some point on the 90's was a really nice place, but now it's just old, abandoned and neglected which is a shame. 5) when I was talking to my taxi driver and I told him I was staying there he felt sorry for me... the place have some kind of bad reputation I guess. 6) The wifi... if you are close to the reception you are good, but if you are staying at the back rooms, it does not work. You can say you get what you paid for.

This place could be so much more. It seems a little run down. The continental breakfast is just sad. The pool is nice and so is the staff.

Stay away from this property. I rather pay hundred dollars more than staying on this property. The smells are so bad. Linen and towels are almost dark color from being white. Good thing we only stayed for one night and we almost backed out.

This place is in need of severe makeover or just tear and rebuild a thing. At one time you could see this must’ve been a very nice place but ever since the pandemic I don’t think I’d have fully recovered The staff is very nice very helpful

Just pass go on this one!!

Booked this hotel on a whim online, hubby and I were at the beach and had some drinks and didn't want to drive home, so decided to get a cheap hotel near the beach, you do not always get what you paid for, pictures looked decent and the room was $120 per night which was the cheapest we could find. Drove by this "hotel" a couple times before realizing it was the hotel we booked. It's in a shopping center and literally looks like it is abandoned, we would not have stayed but we could not get our money back and we didn't want to drive home after drinking. The shower was broken but had good pressure and hot water and the bed was comfy, I slept on top of my beach towel because I was afraid of bed bugs.
