Perfect for quick overnight
It was perfect for our stay. We just came for the night to see a comedy show and the price was right! We had a huge hot tub and even brought the dog! Check-in was simple, room was clean, bed was big and comfy!

Great location, just ok hotel.
It was a good location. The hotel is a bit older and not really kept up. The room was fairly clean and comfortable.
Mostly it's an affordable room in a great location. We were able to walk to heavenly village and had an incredible dinner and a good weekend. The room was just a place to sleep. Recommend for people looking for a basic room at a good price.

Julia at the front desk was a fountain of information. She directed me to a place nearby to walk the beach, find the Safeway, and the Red Hut Café. The room had a microwave and refrigerator, very helpful. Nothing fancy, but comfortable.

Upon check in the lady at the front desk shared they were having plumbing issues and would need to shut the water off.....red fleg #1
The carpet smelled horrible,
I have never been to a hotel where the beds had miss matching covers,
The covers didnt smell clean
The wall near the closet was pealing.
Long story short me and my family checked in and 20 minutes later checked out.
The lady at the front desk was very professional and respectful. She was apologetic and made it easy to recieve my refund.

Bad property
Do you ever go and check these properties before putting them on your booking page? The property is run down and has people living there full time.
It's not ADA compliance.

I loved everything about this place, right up until I got into the room and got the whiff of old stale cigarettes. It gave me a migraine. I only got this room because it said there was a hot tub (only thing I enjoyed the most). Didn't sleep here, was at a party till dawn. Thank God

Location and price were great but there were other visitors and guests on the property who made the facility as a whole feel unsafe. The pool is not in working condition so if that matters, this place doesn’t have a pool. It’s walkable to the touristy shops and across the street from the bath path. The property itself was decent but definitely at best motel quality.

When I arrived, the manager was very nice. She welcomed me. That’s the extent of the good portion of the stay. The room was dirty. There was stains on the sheets. The bed was hard as a rock. The shower was so small that my arm was touching the wall and my other arm was touching the shower curtain. Some of the electrical outlets did not work so I had a hard time being able to use them for everything I needed. I would not recommend this place for anybody to stay at.
