Wont be staying here again
While we were staying here for a military graduation we found the to be a very unpleasant stay. We were so busy during the days but to be in a room with a leaky bathtub faucet constantly while try to sleep was frustrating. We also had an air/heat hurt that didn’t turn on and a toilet that continuously plugged up. The basic necessities were not provided. Our family in a joining room had a broke iron and leaking bathroom sink causing floor to be wet. The parking was good , decent breakfast as well. This is not motels fault but behind motel we encountered people shooting up drugs. I’m grateful we were not in our room a whole lot but again just needed the basic functions of a room and it just wasn’t there.

Old and not safe to stay with family
This Hotel is old. Closet had bad smell. Carpet was old however vacuum you do it wont make a difference. Bathroom and electrical fittings were broken. With homeless people situation I won’t consider that hotel next time to stay with family.

Terrifying, no amenities, cigarettes everywhere
Horrific! The “five beach bars” don’t exist. Neither does the restaurant. There’s cigarette butts and cigarette stink everywhere for a hotel that says it’s non-smoking. I was too scared to stay there as a solo woman. I canceled it and went to the Holiday Inn (which was great, highly recommend) just to feel safe and not have all my stuff smelling like an ashtray. I hope Hotels.com isn’t charging me for my cancelled booking.
Oh look, the non-smoking hotel comes with a free cigarette
More cig butts in the room that was supposedly just cleaned
Filthy with planks of wood keeping people from crawling in through the windows
Graffiti all over the building

Not so great
When we first got there our room was on the other side so we had to leave on the main road to get to the other parking lot then we unloaded all our stuff to find out that the door didn’t lock so we had to load up and to get to our new room we had to leave the hotel to go down the street to u turn the drive down that street to u turn again just to get to the other parking lot where our room was. When we got to our new room to unload one of the lights didn’t work then it smelled like cigarettes so bad in the room and my kids have asthma I had to buy air freshener which didn’t really help then there where only 2 towels in the room so when we asked the maid for more because we are a family of 5 she got mad at us and gave us attitude. In the morning they had apple juice and orange juice but there was never orange juice and the apple juice seemed to be only concentrate and needed water. Wasn’t very convenient to drive to if you had to switch rooms on other sides wasn’t happy at all.

FAMILY TRIP
The staff demonstrated exceptional helpfulness and friendliness. Free parking and spacious rooms were appreciated. The bed was firm and clean, but the sofa bed needed cleaning. No charging port was available beside the bed, though the Bible was a welcome amenity. Microwave and fridge were provided. The tissue roll was partially used. Sounds from the next room were noticeable, including snoring. Breakfast was complimentary, with a self-service waffle option. The selection included boiled eggs, bagels, toast and cereal, unlike other motels offering scrambled or sunny-side eggs and muffins. The area felt safe, with frequent police patrols. The motel's location was convenient for shopping and dining.
