Just wanted to leave an honest review. I was a little worried when I read the reviews,but I was pleasantly surprised. The room (224) was clean, spacious, cold AC,hot shower, comfortable bed, lots of channels on TV, including HBO, super close to the beach, and great price. Stayed for 2 nights. Lady in the office was nice. I will definitely stay here again. Thanks, and God Bless...
Folks you’re looking at a 2 star hotel. If you want luxury pony up the dough…sheesh! Got here right at check-in, it was seamless and only a $50 deposit, refundable on check out. My room was spacious, clean and AC had to be turned up as it was chilly. It’s a beach hotel right off the Seawall. For me it’s totally worth the price. Pet friendly and we will definitely stay here again!!
Rooms were filthy with bugs everywhere, the linens were filthy, toilets didn't flush, the microwave filthy, towels were hanging up dirty, I have never been so disgusted by a place. And within 5 minutes of getting my Rooms I returned to office to get my deposit back. I wasn't going to let my family stay in filth. They charged me 10 dollars from the deposit because we looked at the sheets and flushed the toilet. I have pictures and videos to back everything
So after reading all these reviews, I was apprehensive about staying here. I was anxious and ready for a terrible experience. When I checked in, the gentleman was very kind and hospitable and had a sense of humor. When I got to the room, there was no odor. There were no bugs. There was no mold in the fridge or microwave. The couch was a little rough, but it’s not the plaza, so what do you expect. The bed was comfy, the shower pressure amazing and the tv worked. Not bad for a quick cheap one night stay. I would stay again.
I booked at this place for 4 nights .and I enjoy it a lot, so I end up staying another night, I had a great time weather was great I stayed from sunday Dicember 29 till Thursday January 2 and I just got back home today; I have to be honest the room I got it was good, shower really nice and clean, before I got situeded I spend little time cleaning it the way I like it... there was a light bulb burn out on the ceiling and the smoke detector hanging down and I fixed both and clean the place a little bit and I was ready to go . The key to respect it's to respect others, the owner and staff treated me with respect, and refund my deposit whit no issues. I think that for the price and location, I have nothing else to ask for I was alone and that was on my side because at this point im all terrain... I have stayed in la quinta hotel before And at comfort suits and at the san luis resort and honestly I can't spect a Cadillac when I know I'm buying a dodge ....... Sometimes being negative it just doesn't help I'm not trying to put any body up or down . What im trying to do it's share my experience God bless America Peace and Love Tirado
After booking the rooms and then reading the reviews I became very worried I made a mistake, but after getting into the room it is about as clean as clean can be, I don't see any mold, the ac works well, the tv remote didn't work but I was able to get tv turned on and it was stuck on fxx which is totally fine with me. I'm not sure what's up with all the bad reviews because so far this seems like a pretty good deal. No this isn't gonna be like Hampton inn, but it's pretty nice for the price. I would definitely book here again
