This hotel was exactly what we were wanting! The location is wonderful, located next to so many different shops and restaurants in very close to the beach. Rooms are basic but clean. The rooms are only $25 a night so the price is awesome if you’re coming here expecting all types of amenities, you will be disappointed. We are used to staying in budget hotels so this is exactly what we were looking for! The breakfast is toast, juice, and coffee, if this is something that is not to your liking, there are plenty of other breakfast restaurants around this hotel. The rooftop pool was awesome. We had the whole thing to ourselves every night. We would definitely stay here again please don’t let all the other negative comments. Stop you from staying here if you’re wanting a budget friendly hotel in a great location than this will be the hotel for you.

Obviously I DO NOT recommend this place…

There were cockroaches in the room and the bathroom... I mentioned it to Sandra, the manager, and she did nothing about it. She ignored me. I sent her the text and the photos. She got angry... and I just stayed quiet... SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT TREATING THE GUEST WELL.

The date of check in we arrived late the area was secluded and the building next to this hotel had a notice of legal closure due to human trafficking. My first priority was my family safety which both Expedia and the hotel disregarded. The hotel was dirty, the ac was not working most days and there was no hot water. The experience was horrible

The room had very dim light and some of the hallways and stairs were unlit. The pooll was unlit. I told the clerk about the light and he said they were aware. The door to bathroom was off one of the hinges. Toilet barely flushed. I had to use a bucket. I would not go there again
