We picked this place because it's near the airport, so the location was great. However, our room was fairly dirty; the carpet and bathroom did not feel clean. Just walking around barefoot for a brief time made our feet visibly dirty. Nothing happened during our one night stay to make us feel unsafe. However, there were a lot of signage around the room/hotel about keeping valuables with you, not opening doors to strangers, and locking up which made us question the safety of the area. If you need a quick stay near the airport for one night, this may work for you. The price certainly was cheaper than some other options in the area. However, we would likely try a different place next time.

Checking into the hotel seemed like it was going to be a good experience. Once in the room we realized that we couldn’t log on to the internet. We were told by the office that there was nothing that they could do about it. Then, my wife found a large cockroach on the side of our bed. I killed it and found no other evidence of insects. We finally checked out of the hotel when there was a disturbance in the room next door. The police were called. We were afraid for our safety. The good part of this was, the management did refund our payment.

Tired building in need of update - not just a coat of paint! I chose this place because WiFi was included. It worked once for 2 hours in 3 days. Manager never available until 11am, everybody else (1) just shruggs their shoulders and does nothing. Not worth the money paid.

Started well, ended poorly
I really wanted to give this place a 5-star rating, but the trip was ruined on the last evening. I'll start with the good. Greeted by Kasa (super nice guy) and we were early for check-in but he allowed us to check in anyways. Hotel was very clean as was the room and also spacious. Great location for both town and seaside activities. It all went off the rail on the last night. We had just gotten back from a wedding and I went to sleep. My wife went out to smoke around 12:30 and when she tried to get back in, her keycard failed. She didn't have a phone, so she tried yelling to me but we were on the 2nd floor. Then she used the provided phone on the front of the hotel. She called twice and no one answered. She then called 911 twice and they called the hotel and eventually someone let her in. The night staff was upset that she called 911, but she was frightened and cold and alone in a strange town and didn't know what else to do. She didn't get back into the room until 1:51 AM. The next morning during check out, our nice guy Kasa was back and I told him about it and he knew nothing about it. He was very apologetic and offered to reimburse us for our stay. We never got reimbursed.

The area seems safe. The room was outdated, smelled of room freshener, but was clean. Beds were comfortable. Coffee was terrible and the breakfast was very minimal. Being able to walk to the marina and pier was fantastic.

Exceptionally clean and very comfortable bed. Otherwise very much a budget hotel, nothing luxurious. Our only complaint was the overly scented cleaning materials they used. We had to air out the room. Good news, the windows open.
