It’s exactly what you would expect for a $78 per night hotel. All the basics are covered with no frill.

Pleasantly pleased
Overall we were very pleased with our stay. The room was clean. The bed was pretty comfortable and the only complaint we had is the bed spread looked like it was from the 80’s. Check in was quick and the front desk lady was very polite. Will definitely book here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. However, the scent of Fabuloso cleaner was so intense, it permeated into my clothes and had me coughing a lot of the night. There was no toilet paper roll holder or hand soap. Although the property was supposedly completely renovated, you can see that wall damage was painted over. There are few choices to stay in Crystal Beach, so glad they were there, but the room was not worth the money I paid for a night.

Older Hotel but Clean!
Hotel is pretty cute on the outside. Rooms are VERY dated, but also very clean and reasonably priced. Bed was comfortable. Was too cold for the pool. Only complaint is how DARK the room was, a particular pet peeve of mine. Literally one lightbulb in the bedroom area and no lamps.
