“You get what you pay for!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

Rooms are cheap, but this place has not been taken care of. The shower floor tile was broken. TV did not work. WIFI was not working. Location is good, as it is right across the street from the beach. They now require a $50 cash deposit to rent a room, which is returned when you check out. We stayed here several times in the past, and it was a nice, clean place. Not so any more. On top of the condition of the rooms and furnishings, they blasted hard rock music from speakers on the patio from 8 am until late at night. I would not recommend this to anyone. There are much better places to stay for about $10 more a night.

“DON'T GO THERE!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

It was a horrible experience as you have heard already from most. at first very nice atmosphere with people trying to help us. They had to see my dog to allow it to stay which is a bull terrier and they said it was ok. the room had puddles in the floors the moment you walked in that you had to soak up with the towels then after you do that they will take 5 for a towel off deposit. the roof in the bathroom was maid out of tin which leaked and had corrosion from moister the bathroom door fell of hinge from moister the moment i opened it. the drunk owner who had to see my dog to allow us to stay later said when we checked out that they didn't know about the dog until later so they had to take 20 for that. then walked to the room as we were finally leaving and the crack headed cleaning lady literally asked me if my dog slept on the bed i said no then she said oh good that means i don't have to change the sheets . lets all get together and call the BBB on them now. the one good thing i could say is the pool was ok when the geek heads aren't out. be-safe and better luck on y'all.

“If you want cheap”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2012

then go here. It was dirty, run down, TV didn't work, faucets leaked. The roaches were bigger than my small dog. But if you just need a place to lay your head and don't plan on being there then the price is just right.

“Horrible!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2012

Hole in the wall. Wireless could not work because room ceilings corragated metal. Made us give a 50 cash deposit on top ofpaying for room. Kept 5 of it because we dirtied a towel wiping water off the dirty shelving unit in the room. Toilet didnt flush. Staff could not have cared less. If this place has the last room on the strip, just go sleep on the beach.
