Overall we had a nice stay, we booked last minuet so options were a but limited. The staff were all super nice and helpful when we needed anything. Did have to change rooms but it was an easy switch. Not the cleanest and doesn’t have a lot of amenities, also the surrounding neighborhoods are kind of sketch but the hotel location is in a semi good central area. If you need something affordable and last minuet I would recommend. Staff really stood out to us though! Very very nice :)

I liked that this place, it's second time I stayed here. Not going lie, the stay wasn't as good this second time around. The room wasn't as clean as it was when we first stayed there. So was a bit disappointed. Wi-Fi was good, television not so much, kept saying network wasn't working so we didn't watch TV at all during our stay. Also, parking is first come first serve so yeah. Other than that place was good, it is near alot of beaches, like 30 minutes, away depending on traffic.

Very clean room, safe, with staff that was highly professional. A gem of a hotel tucked away in this busy area of the city. Would highly recommend it.

The first room they gave me was dirty and had an odor, trash from the previous stay, very dirty mirrors and left hair in the shower, dirty stains of bed sheets thankfully I brought my own, and their tv didn’t work for nothing. So they relocated me next room over. Will not be staying here again.

When we walked in our room we found a dirty used towel in the shower. Also there are people living at this inn. The room smells like cigarette smoke. No vacation vibes were living here

The toilet seat was completely broken and dangerous to seat on. Especially for an elder. The shower curtain at the bottom has mildew stains.The mildew was to close to my wife and I feet's while showering. Also, there is two metal objects full of rush sticking out the corner of the bathtub shower area, dangerous I mite add if someone was to slip and full.

It was a good stay - need to put window treatments in all rooms - I had to use my car’s sunshade - which fit perfectly in the window so someone would not be able to watch me sleep. Other rooms had better window treatments. The room was clean no issues there I had a fridge and microwave- love that. It was a basic room which is all I needed. Convenient to where I needed to go for my class - closes to stores - felt safe walking in the area.

It was cozy enough for maybe a one night stay and then back on the road trip. Not recommended for longer stays. The shower after the second night did not have hot water. The bed was uncomfortable. It was a decent property and will probably use it for a short stay not a week.

As soon as I entered the room, I checked the bed sheet, there was a black footprint, I brought my own bed sheet did not ask them to help me change, the room is quite large, there is a microwave oven on the introduction, but there is no microwave oven, there is no breakfast, I think there are many things that can be improved

It is a pleasant experience. We had issue with the TV but they came to our room and showed as the issue. We need to get close to the connection in order to change the channel. Also another issue I am sure I made reservation but could not find it on arrival on my apps but they also took care of that.

Worst experience I’ve ever had staying at a hotel. They completely messed up my trip and my plans. Had to cut it short. They don’t answer the phone. I had booked for two nights and they ended up canceling my selling night without noticed and overcharged me. Good thing my credit card company is great at handling things like this

If you prepay with Hotels.com you will be told upon arrival that you didn't actually prepay. The clerk is very patient trying to explain this, whereas he was explaining it to another guest in front of me. Basically you will be paying double until your first payment which was online is refunded, or released. It is probably best to pay at the hotel with this one, because if you prepay you will be told that your payment is just on hold and you have to pay again at the hotel. There were people hanging out in front of their rooms smoking and playing loud music. This is a last resort choice for when the other hotels in the area are booked. It sure isn't the cheapest. One star hotel for 3 star price.
