This is an old run down hotel that is scary. Several sketchy people hanging around outside the rooms at all hours making all kinds of noise. Every morning our room would fill up with marijuana smoke from outside. The room is just that one open with no door to the toilet. Room was not that clean and had no blanket or comforter on the bed only the top sheet. No soap or shampoo in the room either. TV did not work as well as the wi-fi did not work. The sheets were clean that is the only positive thing I can say about the hotel.

The lady that checked me in was great & as I was traveling on a motor-scooter allowed my to bring my bike close to the room. This is an amazing hotel for an even better price. Near the ocean, area is a bit sketchy but didn’t have any issues as a single woman. I love that it has the old-Florida vacation vibe (high-end hotels have their perks, but I’d rather have a laid back- simple Florida hotel any day.

Hair!

Booked the stay in advance. Called the day before to see what the earliest we could check in is and they told us strictly 4 pm. We got a call at 4:58 asking where we were. I explained that we were 16 mins out and we are headed that way. We arrived and went out to eat instantly. Thinking we were at a place with 24/7 front desk I called as soon as we realized there were no blankets on the beds. We had to spend the night with nothing more than a sheet. The shower backed up with water from hair, glass, and what I hope was dirt! The water only had one temperature and that was COLD!! We went to the desk the next morning and explained everything. We were told the room would be cleaned. We left and returned. Still not cleaned, but they brought blankets! I went to the desk and asked for the first night to be refunded. They said they would refund $35 of the stay. Upon check out I had to repeat the whole situation again. Hopefully within 3-7days we will have the $35 refund.

Absolutely DO NOT STAY HERE!

The room looked nothing like the pics, it smelled! The bed was like concrete. There was some other guest drinking in front of our room, one guy even propositioned me in front of my husband, and another guest doing drugs in front of his room, only 3 doors down from ours. All of that was with in 5 to 10 mins of checking in paying and going to see our room. We headed right back to the person at the front desk only to find out he had left, so we didn’t even get the chance to say we weren’t going to stay there, and we had an event we were going to. So through out the night we tried to call the front desk and got no answer. We ended up driving all the way back home instead of going back to the hotel. I would never recommend anyone staying in this hotel.

We had a wonderful experience. They upgraded is to their best room which has lots of space and a beautiful view. The staff was incredibly helpful.We liked it so well, we stayed 4 nights instead of 1. They are set to do some remodeling in the near future.

I booked my room online. The hotel called 2 hours later and said they were overbooked, and that i had to call expedia to cancel and get refunded. Expedia told me it was a non refundable booking. I went to the hotel and asked for a refund. They refused. I was charged for an unavailable room, on christmas eve.

Overall, the stay at this property was fine. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the parking was limited, there was no bar soap provided in the room, there was no iron/ironing board, and both the body wash and shampoo in the shower dispenser looked to be the same.

Best bang for your buck!

This is a budget hotel, but the front desk lady Rena made you feel so welcome and like you were staying with family. We'll be back!

Great little old school hotel.

If you are into cheaper rates, easy access to places, not so uptight and more low-key comfortable hotels then this is the place to stay. This is old school hotel (I personal enjoy hotels more like this). The staff is friendly especially the manager, she was fantastic woman. You are walking distance to liquor store, a coffee shop and one of the better bars in PCB (The Salty Goat). The beach is literally across the street. The only thing I recommend is bring a coffee maker if you are someone that drinks coffee before 7 am.
