The 409 Bolivar Beach Hotel

There were two beds squeezed into the space. The bathroom door wouldn’t open completely due to one of the beds being in the way. I found a waffle fry under the door of the fridge and the mirror was filthy. The vinyl flooring had gaps in them everywhere, pillow case and comforter had holes in it, and the AC didn’t work worth a damn. I am normally bundled up in bed but didn’t even sleep with a sheet that night.

Very Good

Direct beach access! clean rooms and a nice area under the hotel to rinse off or escape the sun a bit.

The bedding was comfortable with lots of different types of pillows (one was kinda dingy looking) and air conditioner was cold. Shower had plenty of hot water. Light fixtures were cute.

I originally wanted a late check-in and it seemed to be a problem (the possibility of them charging me and then renting my room out to someone else before I could get there) so I took off work a day early to arrive during their "check in time 3-6 pm". The door had a huge gap that anything could have crawled through into our room and let in tons of light, lots of bugs inside and out due to the porch light that doesn't turn off, and there was a connecting door to the next room with NO lock or any way to secure it on our side. The fridge was unplugged and cable box dropped behind the dresser. One small chair to sit in that was in the closet, shampoo and condition bottles in shower were already used. The blinds did absolutely nothing to keep out any light so prepare to wake at sunrise.

The hotel was clean, the linens were clean, bed was comfortable. The shower and bath were also clean. The only issue during my stay was the neighboring rooms. In one room, someone was smoking at 3 AM, which woke me up because I react to cigarette smoke. I didn't sleep well because the other unit left the TV on all night. The rooms are non-smoking, but people smoke anyway. AC worked really well which is important in the summer.

Room was fair. Water pressure was only fair, both electric outlets by bed weren't functional, no electric outlets by desk, incredibly noisy air conditioning unit, bulb burned out in central light. All units are second floor with no elevator.
