Guest Reviews

• Mercedes (1/5): -
• Zoélie (1/5): - La proximité de la plage Nous sommes entrés dans la chambre et il y avait une forte odeur de weed. Le réfrigérateur et le congélateur étaient sales. Les serviettes semblaient avoir été utilisées, tout comme les draps qui étaient tachés et cernés. Le bain avait de la moisissure et le rideau de douche était sale. Beaucoup de personnes étranges y vivent. En tant que femme, je ne me suis pas sentie en sécurité. Chaque fois que je sortais à l’extérieur un homme m’observait depuis le balcon. Pas du tout insonorisé et des personnes parlent et chill en avant de notre chambre. Bref, je ne recommande pas.
• Garrett (3/5): Extended our trip by a day. - Cheap price Not very clean or up to date. WiFi is spotty. Very thin walls and homeless around the area.
• Crystal (10/5): -
• Carlton (1/5): -
• Cox (1/5): Photoshop lies - Nothing we couldn't stay here. The hotel should be condemned The photos on booking are complete photo shop. The rooms have curling paint on the walls, floors are nasty, no kitchenette. We didn't dare set our toddler down because how dirty the room was.
• Anthony (1/5): Unsanitary and Horrible 🤮 - This was one of the most unsanitary places I’ve ever seen. There were cockroaches everywhere— in the kitchen, bathroom, and even around the bed. The bathtub looked like it had what appeared to be bloodstains. I didn’t feel safe staying there and left immediately without using the room. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

• Dave (7/5): For basic overnight stays for rustic people and couples trying to maintain a small budget. Safe - Staff was professional TV cable was off in one room but I didn't realize that until I was leaving. Not really a TV person.
• Loney (10/5): - No carpet. Clean. Affordable. Location Shower was tricky to adjust, but hot water as long as you want.
• Javone (10/5): -
• J.Leegins (1/5): -
• Elizabeth (2/5): It sucked - The fact it wasn’t far from the beach and check out was 11 am Everything the staff were rude and there were stains on the bed
• Mekhi (1/5): Worst stay ever - Nothing Roaches everywhere
• Loney (10/5): - Staff was accomading amd compassioate.
• Bobbie (5/5): -
• Grover (6/5): -
• Tina (2/5): Overall it was a place to sleep for one night but I would be coming back - The bed was a nice size The area wasnt up to my standard but I guess you get why you pay forz the picture was half right .the towel and the sheets was nasty I had to go buy some so we could sleep .what a mess.
• J.Leegins (1/5): -
• John (3/5): - They double charged me for my room and I still haven't got my refund back of $54 The lady at the front desk had a attitude and wouldn't allow us to even speak to the owner that she was on the phone with .
• RIchard (6/5): Thank you Peggy, I won’t forget your tacos next time we stay I promise!!! - Peggy at the front desk was so welcoming for us for our extended stay, we loved how attentive she was to our needs while we were there. Nothing about the property was bad other than sometimes the shower was iffy but no problems otherwise.
• Kayla (1/5): -
• Brandy (1/5): - The room we stayed in put the roach motel in top one nothing like the pictures false advertisement, No Doubt
• Cherline (4/5): -
• Lanette Gutliffe (1/5): - Nothing Bunch of bugs in the bed.
• Noah (2/5): Horrible - The employees The dirtinesss
• Stacy (10/5): -
• Kesha (4/5): - The front desk lady was nice The place is very old and smelled like mildew. The towels were very rough and old feeling.
• Isis (8/5): -
• Nicholas (1/5): - TV didn't work, lights didn't work, only 1 towel. Overall unkept. We only stayed 1 of our 3 nights booked
• Melinda (1/5): It was awful, scary, and I will never go back! Would not recommend!! - Nothing Roaches, staff rude, made me pay for my dog when it was stated on website it was included, room was nasty, cabinets nailed shut, tub gross, cracked, rusted microwave, staff rude and unsanitary, allowed pest control in my room with my minor child in there and dog, mentioned they heard their were roaches when we had a private conversation in our room about finding roaches in the room. Very shady people and people living on property. The doors do not even have knobs, they’ve instead been replaced with ropes and old handles. My key didn’t work to my room and they couldn’t figure out which it was. Felt very unsafe and didn’t not stay the entire time, left and went to another hotel.
• Brittany (1/5): - It was aweful There was a cigarette butt under the nightstand, a bullet hole in the window. Giant crack under the door
• Doyle (10/5): -
• Kei (1/5): Dirty hotel, they also steal - Location My room was dirty. Towels, wash cloths, sheets, blanket. Horrible smelling. I was rushing out at check out and grabbed everything but my wallet which i left under my bed. The housekeeper was the only one in the room and she turned it in minus my cash. I'm making a police report about the incident.
• Atkinson (1/5): -
• Hamadi (6/5): - That it was closer to the beach and stores That it was stains on my sheet my tub looked a little gritty
• Hamadi (5/5): The manager on duty was a wonderful person all the way around by foster stay wet, not allow children in the unclean tub - Not far from stores or the oceanfront The tube didn’t look too clean or the sheets
• Shelly (1/5): Nightmare, I didn't stay the second night and did not get a refund. - Nothing VERY DIRTY and mentally ill people screaming outside your room all night.
• Adam (1/5): Awful. Filthy. Stained blankets and one dirty towel. No toilet paper. Disgusting floors. - The receptionist was very kind Spend the extra $10-20 for a different hotel and run from this. I showed up, hoping for a good nights rest after a long day of work. At check-in, I was handed a towel and when I got in the room I opened up the towel and it was all stained. There was no toilet paper. Blankets were grimy and stained. Floors look like they hadn’t been cleaned in months with dirt and grime buildup everywhere. By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in my life.
• Kimya (10/5): It was so convenient and amazing - That it was clean and amazing staff I didn’t like that I couldn’t stay longer lol
• Carolyn (1/5): Get what you pay for, I guess. - Beds were comfortable Very dirty
• Nahzee (3/5): -
• Dustin (1/5): We checked in and immediately checked out after seeing the room! - Absolutely nothing!!!! This place shouldn’t even be allowed to operate in these conditions!! This place looks NOTHING like the pictures. It’s filthy, stains on everything, dresser has mold in it, lamps are rusty, bed looked like someone just “spot cleaned” it. ALL Cabinets are screwed shut, bathroom door wouldn’t even close all the way, toilet barely wanted to flush. The locks on the doors are a literal joke. While I didn’t see any, I wouldn’t be surprised if this place had bugs. I swear it looked trap house , with actual prostitutes working in these rooms.
• Amancio (1/5): Mi peor experiencia en un hotel - Quizás puedo rescatar la localidad No lo recomiendo lugar muy sucio mal olor a sigarro cucarachas por todo lados sabanas rotas me ospede por 3 días nunca vino alguien a limpiar ni acanbiar ropa de cama esto es un robo el precio no vengan a este lugar no lo recomiendo
• Nicolas (8/5): -
• Sage (1/5): Terrible. Didn’t even get to use the room we paid for. - Allowed me to book a late check in, then no one was there to check me and my partner in, and we had to sleep in the car, and received no reimbursement
• Sarah (1/5): Hotel manager told me tough shit & they didnt care that I already paid. They oversold my room, ahait - I arrived & the hotel told me they were expecting me, & that I canceled. Can provide the booking payment. I wasn't reimbursed for this payment. I arrived at the hotel fully expecting a room. That didn't happen. No cancelation emails either. It was a FANTASTIC night trying to figure out where we were going to stay. Really loved it.Will be seeking reimbursement. Thank you. They sold my room to someone else
• Donald (1/5): Felt like I got ripped off - The location was close to the beach an you can walk The room was not clean and had bugs in it the toilet did not work which I asked him to fix and they came and fixed it and afterwards it still didn't work
• Jake (1/5): -
• Tanija (1/5): - Check in was great staff was great It was filthy
• Joshua (1/5): It was so bad that we left immediately. I would never recommend this to anyone. - Nothing Room smelt like smoke, bed sheets were stained, ripped and damp. Floor was crummy, bathroom door wouldn’t stay closed or lock, kitchen was a nightmare, they left. There was a previous guests sandal just sitting on top of the curtain rod. Overall terrible.
• Issa (1/5): Terribly dirty, picture online look noting like what it actually looks like -
• Aldo (1/5): Very bad place. - The filthiest hotel I have booked on. Flies on the bed and the smell in the room was unbearable. I couldn’t bring my family inside the room, we just left.
• Matt (1/5): Worst experience I have ever been a part of, Iwill be requesting full refunded did not stay and had to find different lo - The entire facility was so nasty, dirty we did not stay the night. We checked in and then checked right back out. I have never seen a scarier, dirty awful facility Dirty, dangerous looking situations
• Rodney (3/5): Because of $ I am forced to endure a less than deairable hotel condition. - The staff was friendly and eager to help. The shower curtain was molded at bottom pretty bad and tv had to be switched out 3 times before finding 1 that showed picture and 'some' volume. Remote didn't reset for proper volume control. Owner failed to reset tv remote,said he had to call Cox but never said he wasn't coming back.
• Crystal (1/5): Don’t do it! You will regret it! - Absolutely nothing This was a complete joke of a hotel, I’ve stayed in old motels and was completely fine with it but this was utterly disgusting, to start the staff was rude and the front office was filthy and dark, the room was a complete nightmare, when we walked in the ac was off so it was about 95 degrees in the room, the beds were stained and cigarette burned. The floor look like it has not been swept in a year. There was har and bugs in the nasty bathroom, the shower curtain and wall was molded, there was no hott water at all. When I called down to ask about the hot water the lady told me to wait a while because everyone was showering at once so I waited until the next morning and no hot water still. The pictures are so deceptive. DO NOT STAY here! There were questionable women coming out of all the upstairs rooms and our Uber driver told us he thought he was picking up someone to take them on a drug deal. He said y’all look way too normal to be staying in that place! Absolutely do not stay here!
• Nick (1/5): I want a FULL REFUND for the night I didn’t even stay. - Nothing at all. Everything was bad with the property. From the road pavement, to every corner of the room. The dirty room. Dirty towels. Broken door knob. Rusty bathroom lights. Stained bed sheets. Old furniture. Dirty bathroom tub. The lighting. EVERYTHING.
• Selina (1/5): -
• Donnell (1/5): I didn’t not stay - I didn’t like the property I would not let my dog sleep in there Every thing
• ABDUL QADEEM (1/5): Very bad - Nothing All
• Luz (5/5): -
• Caitlin (2/5): - Cheap, only found 1 massssivee cockroach, only 1 out of my wholee 4 day stay 🙏🏻 Roaches, towels and sheets stained, workers & staff argued loudlyy outside, mike was unprofessional
• Karon (1/5): -
• Jose (1/5): Dirty, filthy, not worth the price - Nothing, bathroom had mold all over! Supposedly it was a non smoking room, but the entire room smelled like a cigarette! Manager just gave me a can of air freshener… Like that was gonna help!
• keith (1/5): - N/A N/A
• Morgan (1/5): At this hotel, there’s nothing to sum up. I ended up staying at a different hotel for the same price - Nothing I attempted to check in per my booking time and was met with locked and closed doors. I attempted to call the number listed on Google and got no answer. I ended up having to stay in a completely different hotel. If somebody would have been there to open the doors and check us in so we would not have had to have paid for another hotel and getting our money back would be fantabulous since we never stayed here
• Imani (1/5): -
• Kevin (1/5): -
• King (10/5): -
• Conrad (1/5): I will never stay there again or recommend it - Everything was very filthy including the towels Clean room was non existent. Dusty and disgusting for sure.
• Kevin (10/5): -
• Jeffery (1/5): Got ignored wasted money - Nothing the website said 24/7 and when you arrive at 2am an call the number it goes to voicemail called more then once no response finally got a message from the property manager at 7am saying I was supposed to call like are you serious I did! Worst experience don’t book from here I don’t recommend it if your going to arrive after hours How they only credited me $12 out of $70 for a room I couldn’t even sleep in because they ghosted me at 2am

• Clare (3/5): Dangerous and dirty - Front desk lady was very nice Absolutely disgusting and scary

• Ring (3/5): - The bed was comfortable and walking distance to the beach and main strip Dirty floors towels looked like they was used shower curtain had mold on it

• Jua (1/5): -
• Aneta (1/5): - Location is convenient. The motel doesn’t feel safe (you cannot even lock the door from inside), it is not clean at all (there were bugs everywhere) and most importantly it smells so bad (like the old cigarettes and dust smell) that I didn’t even stay there my second night and was better off with sleeping in my car.
• John (1/5): Horrible will never go back again - Bed was comfortable Very dirty, door knob was broke ac was broke and didn’t shut off bathroom was filthy and towels smelled awful the tv was sitting on wash clothes to level it out.
• Sandra (2/5): - Staff acted inconvenienced. Room was not cleaned as the floors in the bathroom hadn’t been scrubbed in who knows how long. Room smelled like smoke. Bedspread and sheets had a cigarette hole in them. Cable TV didn’t work. No drinking cups or glasses. No phone. No coffee maker.
