dave, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was the quest hotel we've ever stayed out. No towels, no toilet paper, they weren't even going to give us a key card because they didn't have any. They had to go find a random one to give us. Nothing worked, everything was dirty and gross. Tub was worthless. No coffee just a dirty gross coffee pot.
The nasty front door
The throw away coffee filter holder. Been used a dozen times I'm sure
Angie, 1-night trip

Location is good. Property is bad. Nothing for guests to break because almost everything is very broken.

Nice stay

Nice convenient hotel. Friendly staff.
Clarence, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

For $184 a night, I expected better. There was trash in the parking lot and there seem to be people that are actually living here. Hanging out smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee in the morning and in the evenings. We wanted to open our window because it was stuffy, but there were no screens and people were right outside the window talking. The hotel staff were nice, and the beds were decent. For the price, I would go a bit more inland and probably get a better stay and value for my money.
Dale, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute, older hotel.
Rachel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very charming and quaint, memories of the 60's and 70's beach place, comfortable beds. Loved how close to the beach it was. Would like to stay there again!
Diana, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was dirty, most things were broken and several bugs were found in my bag upon returning home. I would never stay here again for love nor money. The only positive side of this stay was the staff and leaving.
Jake, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel has not been updated in years. Towels old and bare not matching. Tv internet spotty always buffering. Ice machine broken and window screen torn. Soap was tiny and didn’t lather up. Only good thing was the lady working in the office she was nice and helpful.

It was close to where we needed to be the next morning

Great job by the front desk employee. I believe her name was Jessica but not sure. She gave me some of her own flowers as I was celebrating an anniversary.

Surprisingly quiet. Clean & comfortable. Close to a supermarket & closer to the beach with several eateries & a coffee/juice place nearby. I'd stay there again.
