Highly recommended in budget price .. you need to pay 100 $ deposite but that will get refunded on same day of checkout. Very clean and walkable distance from pleasure pier. We didn't try breakfast but you can get waffle and complementary coffee. Enough free parking available at property.

Just skip this place
Dirty. Long hair in the sheets. Microwave with stuck on previous foods. Floor feels greasy under bare feet. Tv remote not for tv and doesn't even change one channel nor allow for internet viewing such as Netflix or you tube. ROACHES.

Good for overnight on a budget.
We just staid one night so we could be close for our cruise departure the following day. For that purpose, it met our needs. It is on the seawall so beach is right across the street and Saltgrass is within walking distance. For a short, cheap stay, it’s great, if you’re looking for luxury, or even comfortable, this place isn’t really for you.

Excellent for pre cruise night stay. Practically on the water; can walk to Saltgrass Restaurant; but baby roach in bathroom drain; no one available in office-locked door, for roughly 10 mins. However, was very clean!
