The room wasn't bad, the area that the hotel is in is kinda sketchy. Housekeeping is rude and I don't think they mop at all. And apparently because we didn't tell her we needed fresh towels but put them outside the door like she told us on the other days we didn't get towels for our last night there. And they charged more than what Expedia said my balance was.the best part about it is how close to the beach it is. Oh we also had little kids knocking on the door multiple times to "sell us" pieces of concrete blocks.

It was nice that there was a private beach but that is it. We had to go buy towels because theirs had dirty hand prints, there was no phone in room, TV didn't work, very run down and dirty. I expected older from pictures, but it was even worse. We didn't even stay the 2nd night, just drove home early.

There is nothing I liked about this place. It was a NASTY place. It was very unsafe place to tkae a family. The place is nothing but a drug hang out. We had to find another hotel and they will not give us our money back.

This location was in a horrible state of disrepair along with it being unclean and had a general feeling of it being unsafe. The room, bed, linen, bathroom, etc were all dirty so we did not stay and opted to find another place to stay for the night. I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Awful
After going up to the room that we were given i knew it was the wrong one and attempted to get it corrected the hotel staff got smart and hostile wiith me told me he didn't care if i gave them a bad review or not acting like even with the bad review they were not going to change their ways of working with the public. The room that we were placed in was a regular hotel room with a small refrigerator which did not work properly, no kitchenette, the front desk person attempted to kick me out of the reservation room when i attempted to show him the room that i had booked and we booked a deluxe room which had a kitchenette and full size refrigerator. Hotels.com attempted to call and could not get through to them as i tried before we even took the trip to insure that we would receive the correct room. We also had dirty wash clothes in towels left in the bathroom to use. Unable to use the sheet or cover on bed due to they had some white looking stuff on them. Had only 2 pillows to a king size bed. I'm so glad a brought my lysol so that i could spray everything thing down and brought my own pillows and blanket I dont like this area of the reciew because you are suppost to be able to attach pictures it does not work. Because i have all kinds of pictures to show hotels.com to attempt to get some type of refund due to as the attendant stated that the room we were in was correct for the price we paid but not by hotels.com price
