2/10 Poor

It was dirty, smelled like cigarettes, had damaged walls, just overall not well kept. And, the check-in. Is a person via video on a kiosk where the card reader for showing ID didn’t work. We had a complaint about the room & the kiosk person sent a message to the manager. We waited 10 minutes yet nobody came.

The room was literally spotless. Staff was so amazing. This place surprised me at how cool it was and how well they take care of it. I was really impressed and we will be back! Thank you everyone!

8/10 Very good

Check in was easy at the kiosk. The room was basic but did the job for sleep and a shower. We noticed that some people claim to have an issue with getting their deposit back, which was concerning. At check out, it's explained that it takes up to 5 days for the hold to clear, which it did. For the price, this place was good. It's close to the beach, near dining, has an indoor hot tub, and plenty of parking.

The internet was out most of the time. Our phones would go in and out. Also the tv would constantly freeze. Wasnt even wirth trying to watch tv. I called the front desk and they said they were having internet problems that would not be fixed anytime soon and could not give us any kind of refund
