Bare bone room

If you’re staying just for the local area enjoyment and not in the room much ….sure it’s ok. No amenities, nothing extra just a room. Wear shoes because your socks will be black. Floors never cleaned. Shower curtain is too short so the bathroom gets flooded with water every time you shower.
Open electrical wires in kitchenette cabinet.

Lovely, quiet respite

This place was a lovely surprise, clean, quiet room with very comfy beds. It must be stated no elevator if you stay on second floor.. Also must note for travelers, the grill outside needs charcoal, not gas. Tiki bar near with gratis cocktails, nice and cute pool atea. Good location.

This facility for its size is very nice. Retro style rooms. The air conditioning units are a little noisy at times (will have to be updated) but over all the rooms are clean. The pool area is kept very nicely, and the Tiki Hut bar is in keeping with the retro style and is very nice.

Our room was damp and smelled of mold. The flooring was coming up. The towels were damp and the moisture issue was so bad that the box of tissues were all wet. There was a bleach smell that was overpowering. I am allergic to mold and we had to leave at first light due to the respiratory issues I had from the room. When the office staff was told this , no action was taken. Poor care for $344 per night!

Overpriced Flop House

The room was overpriced and not worth the rate charged. This property is run down, paint peeling from the walls, lighting not working, smelled bad and bed is a safety hazard (sharp corners that stick out at shin level). I do not recommend this property to anyone, but especially people with children.
