“Skip it... it sucked!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011
8
people found this review helpful

Well, lets see. The only reason that these people are even here is that it is the only game in town. The check in process was easy enough, but the clientelle... that's another story. If you are a stoner surfer dude then this place is probably passable. Besides from the rotting door, loud air conditoner, filthy lumpy mattresses and covers, disgusting bathroom and deplorable carpet it wasn't bad. It was loud and noisy in the parking lot. The shower stall looked like it had been painted. We stayed for twp nights because I had already payed but I would never do that again.

Room Tip: Go somewhere else!

“Cool People”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I actually didn't get to stay here, but they were cool about it. I needed internet during the trip and, when I checked in, they mentioned that their system had issues with Macs. Not sure if it was temporary or not..ask if this is an issue for you. We tried, and could not get it to work. They helped me find another room with another establishment on the island during a full weekend.. Like I said, cool people.

“Worse place I've ever stayed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011
7
people found this review helpful

We travel often for both business and pleasure. When we travel for business we are able to choose nicer hotels. However, when I travel for pleasure, especially with short term planning we are willing to stay in more affordable, older hotels. I have stayed at probably every class of hotel possible. I've also spent many nights in typical "mom and pop" hotels at the beach. I have to say this is THE WORSE place I have ever stayed.

I would estimate that no major improvements have been made to this place in 25 years or more. The furnishings, appliances and fixtures are terribly old. Our room had the loudest ceiling fan I have ever heard. The floors sagged. Remember the show "Sanford and Son?" That is the way the rooms look.

I have to be honest with you: We are more than willing to stay in a low class place because we love the beach so much. Besides, we spend almost every waking hour outside of the room. This place is just TOO expensive for these horrible conditions.

If you read the other reviews here and think, "Oh, it can't be that bad..." you will be sadly disappointed. It really is "THAT BAD." If you're looking for affordable, I'd recommend camping before staying here.
