We stay here every year for the past 4 years. This year we had a very bad experience. I was doing our laundry which I have done before when we came and the bottom dryer didn't work after taking my money. The top one did but after using $4 my clothes still were not dry. Front desk told me to... More

A patch of black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom as big as my foot. An old sandwich left in the refridgerator from who knows when. Also, someone fighting--physically fighting outside our room in the early a.m. Avoid at all costs!

I love the location and the price of the rooms. Staff was very friendly. Rooms lil outdated but had plenty of room. Staff asked everyday if we needed anything. Parking is crazy here, you have to park across the street. We will never stay here again. We didnt get 1 good night sleep here due to the noise. People are... More

Stayed 1 night on May 4, 2013. We had a 2 bedroom ocean front. Late Saturday night I pulled the covers down from the bedroom that had the 1 queen to find a napkin with lipstick kisses all over it between the sheets!!!! Obviously they did not change them, not sure how long the nasty napkin was there. My husband... More

Not handicapped friendly. 14.00 charge per night for amenities - these include broken down washing machine in the 'laundry room' (a dirty corner of the building, not a room), a pool that was closed, a heater/ac that was attached to the wall at ceiling height - therefore unable to reach the settings. In addition the cover to this machine fell... More

We traveled with our children for an overnight weekend stay, and were pleasantly surprised! The previews we read beforehand threw up red flags, and we weren't expecting a whole lot, but we were wrong! The room was clean and in order, and the children had plenty of room to roam inside. The bathroom had new flooring, the kitchen and refrigerator... More

We were a bit apprehensive about booking this place after seeing some of the reviews but decided to take the chance to stay within our budget. For $39 bucks a night it turned out to be a great gamble. We are a family of four so the three beds and two TVs were perfect and oceanfront to boot. For the... More
