Inside the room you notice some updates to vanities, there was a roach inside my room , and there needs to be more attention to bedsheet and pillow case cleanliness. For the price I didn’t complain but cleanliness is a must

Rooms were moldy. Had to change rooms, and the other was equally moldy. People at the Tiki bar downstairs were not so friendly to us. Not worth it.

Nice room but odd smell

Our room had a damp smell to it that at times was overpowering. The bathroom fan didn’t seem to work or at least not well enough. Otherwise the room was clean & spacious. Parking was easy & you are near many places to eat.

I would stay there again

The hotel was very nice. It was close to a lot of things like the beach was maybe 20 minutes away. Everything was about 15-20 minute drive. It was very close to the airport. The only thing is the incidental hold is $150. That’s the only thing I didn’t like is because the incidental charge was more than my room. Other than that it was great. I would stay there again.

I was really disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The building is very old and it clearly hasn’t been updated in a long time. There are no amenities at all, which makes it feel even more uncomfortable. The room smelled musty and damp as soon as I walked in, and it never went away. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless they do some serious renovations and improve their services.

There were ants in the bathroom and the vanity area. The floor was wet from the humidity. The room had a musty smell. Bed sheets had someone’s hair on them when I went to go to bed. The hotel itself is run down looking. Definitely not like the pictures. Not the best crowd of people either. There was a young couple arguing in front of my room and the girl had track marks up and down her arms and legs and scabs on her face. I have no idea how this place has gotten the reviews it has, because this is not it.
