The beds where comfortable

From the pictures on the site to what it was is horrible. The place was dirty dead bugs, rooms smelt like smoke and weed, No hot water, elaborate stuck didn’t want to open, only one towels for four people. No trash cans in rooms. Overall was horrible place still haven’t gotten my deposit back week later almost.

"This hotel is severely run down and overpriced with broken amenities and poor service."

1.0

We like location and that our room had a balcony and ocean view.

Nothing worked: 1. Pool was closed with a big warning note from Sanatory Commission, the water was not clear, but cloudy - they probably had problem with filters. 2. Ice machine did not work and it was broken for a long time, because it was all dusty and dirty. 3. The only coffee machine in the lobby was broken and there was nowhere to get coffee in the morning. You have to walk two blocks to the nearest convenience store and pay $5 for a small cup of coffee. 4. The hot water had issues, during the day the water was a luke warm, it got a bit warmer during the night. 5. There was no trash can in the room. 6. The small refrigerator did not had any shelfs inside. 6. The smell of marihuana was everywhere, it seems they don't allow to smoke cigarettes but allow to smoke marihuana everywhere in the property. People were smoking it at the pool area, and the only way to the beach was through the pool area, so there was no way to escape that smell. 7. They charge $20 for resort fee, but nothing resorty in that hotel. 8. I lost my fanny pack on the way from parking lot to the room, it had $200 inside. Nobody returned or reported it to the lobby, which is not surprising, since majority of people stay there looked like drunks or under narcotic influence. 9. Handicapped parking was closed by the cone so the hotel employee could park there, and since my husband is handicapped, and car had handicapped tags we could not find a spot to park nearby. 10. Interior of the rooms are run down, door lock to the balcony was all crocked and rusty, and you have to push really hard in order to lock the door. 11. Luckily there was no roaches in the room, but I saw a few of the big one crawling around the hallways. 12. the only good thing is the location and proximity to the beach. It seems $150+ a night is the price to pay only for location, and it might worth it if you get a room with ocean view like we did, but it would be totally overpriced if you get a some internal room without a view.
