Person at front desk wasn't there when we arrived and when she finally did show up she appeared strung out and scatter brained. We were finally shown to our penthouse and it was disgusting the toilet wouldn't flush all the way the shower was rusty and disgusting the tun had hair in it. We paid 1000$ for 3 nights but decided to not even try and stay the 1 night. They wouldn't refund our money even though the room clearly didn't match the description or pictures on trip.coms site. At this point we feel like we should take them to small claims court because we feel scammed

Night staff at front desk was a complete buffoon! Did not know how to perform his job in any way.

Location of property is great. Room was dirty when we were issued room. There was one lady working desk. She was doing everything she could to make things work but seemed a bit overwhelmed. She worked to give us a new room. Older facility. Needs a fresh overhaul. Still has a very run down motel feel with a wanna be boutique style. Continental breakfast was running late. Same lady was handling everything from day before. Came about 10 minutes prior to serving time and was rushing to get items placed out and simultaneously checking out customers. Can't blame the lady, poor ownership on this place.

It was a really cute, well-maintained property. Conveniently located, right next to the beach. I'd definitely stay there again.

Needs to be updated. Random man knocking on doors asking for money, car rides and lighters.

The only positive thing about this hotel was the location, The office was in the hotel next to it and we were never notified until we showed up with a note on the door. Office was suppose to be 24/7. Couldn't get ahold of them by phone and they didn't respond to text for several hours. Breakfast wasn't ready when said and was horrible when it was. No coffeemaker in the room, not even a cup to use to brush your teeth. No bath mat.
