Desafortunadamente cuando ves el hotel a través de la app se considera algo aceptable para el
Precio. Pero al llegar y ver la
Calidad de las habitaciones lo
Sucio y descuidado. Realmente esto no debe ser considerado hotel
The whole place was dirty there was roaches and everything was broken the shower didn't have a shower curtain and leaked water , the toilet seat was broken, the sink leaked water all night .... Not to mention the amount of activity that goes on there is disgusting will will never return there again.
I couldn’t stay at all. This place should be turned down and rebuilt, is incredible how bad conditions are found. Dirty with cockroaches and other insects on the walls air conditioning rusted, bedding I even take a peek, towels all stained, the toilet no words, floors were sticky on the shoes, it should not be allowed to be available as a place for people to sleep.
Property was unclean. Room had feces smeared on floor and was of bathroom. Cockroaches everywhere. Fights in the parking lot throughout the night. Priced at $160/night. Insanely expensive for the astronomically poor condition of this place.
During the hurricane the water was dripping in at a constant rate through the smoke detector and dripping onto the air conditioner! Then the popcorn ceiling was falling off onto the air conditioner.
This place is a pit.
I felt like going to my car and sleeping in it.
This sh1t hole nightmare was a true Halloween experience. As we approached this house of horrors on Halloween eve, the zombies on meth or fentanyl became abundant. I was not able to cancel because it was past my check in time but I would rather lose my 401k than spending a single night in this hell hole crack house of horrors.
BIG Dead roach by toilet. Didn’t feel room or refrigerator was really clean. Bed was of as far as comfortable. But other residents were constantly walking, sitting on sidewalk in front of ALL room doors. Talking & laughing loudly until 2-3am EVERY DAY! And started right back up early the next morning.
The only good thing is that the manager was very nice, understanding and helpful.
But will NEVER stay there again, hurricane or not!

Liked: Room comfort
Just average
Room was old, but cleaner than expected based on outside appearance. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom fixtures were clean but floor needed a good cleaning. Towels were cery thin and worn. Average rating of '3', good for just an overnight stay but pricey for what we got.
I should have read others’ comments but it was a last minute booking due to my change of schedule and unavailability among other places. The main concern / complaint is the cleanness of this place!!!! It’s almost unbelievable how dirty it feels and was. As soon as you walk in, the room just smells of mixture of stale, moldy and smoky air. The sheets are dirty with some body hair. Blankets are even dirtier :/ I’m feeling sick after sleeping in here. Then so imagine the bathroom. cockroaches in bathroom. Towels are falling apart. Bathtub is super slippery. Outside has all kinds of people and “activities” that leaves a sense of very unsafe and unsettling. Although staff are sort of fine, it is definitely one of my worst hotel / motel experiences.
