“Don't walk, but run away!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2007

person found this review helpful

My girlfriend and I wanted to stay a couple nights and at random chose this place. The price was cheap and we figured, how bad could it be? After telling us they had vacancy and then paying for two nights the woman tells us that the only room they have is directly adjacent to the office. She told us that if the tv in the office was too loud to let her know, but that they had never had any complaints. Well suffice to say not only could we hear the tv from the office, but both mornings at about 9 am there were screaming arguments and loud conversations coming through the wall. To make matters worse both nights we were awoken by loud creaking noises from the second level above us at approx 4 am. It sounded like construction or some one rearranging a room. If the noise were the only problem I might recommend staying in another room, but if the room we were in was any indicator of the quality of the other rooms I'd recommend staying far, far away from this wretched hole. Good Luck and Stay Away

My girlfriend, and I were looking for a place to stay down the shore for the weekend, spare of the moment get away type of weekend, we were given a king size bed by the pool, very nice, and clean, the fact that is non-smoking is a plus. We enjoyed the free passes to the ocean and appreciated the very friendly staff always willing to help. Pool area was clean and plesant. They also have a free shuttle to Jenkinsons on the weekends. I would gladly recomend this hotel to family and friends.

Friendly Staff, great prices, cant beat that, and on top of all that we had a nice continental breakfast provided by the hotel and passes to the beach free of charge. Wonderful experience, especially with 3 small children. We will be coming back next year.

“A Mistake”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2006

We were staying for one night, thank goodness, we couldn't stand two. We checked in. The room was not as expected, with a tile floor in the bedroom, and a filthy upholstered chair that we swore we would NEVER sit on. We turned on the air checked out the TV and headed out to eat. When we got back to the room it was hotter inside than out. The air was not working. We asked to have our room changed and the desk clerk said that she couldn't do that. We asked why and she began to scream that she was a cancer patient and that she didn't need the aggravation of us complaining about the room. She said that she would call the handyman who would fix it. At ten at night she expected us to sit in the room while someone worked on the air conditioner. The handyman showed up at 10:30 cursed at the air and jiggled it. He then said that we could have another room but warned us that the other rooms were not as NICE!! My boyfriend went with the guy to check out the rooms and was taken to one that had no lights. The second room's built in air conditioner didn't work so there was a window air conditioner there which also didn't work. There were also burn marks around where the uint was plugged into the wall. By the time they came back to our room it had cooled off a bit so we stayed. Our nice ittle nice friday night get away turned into a HORRIBLE evening. We couldn't check out early enough. Stay away!!

Resort, ha!!! It smelled ( bottle of febreze we bought didn't even help), was dirty( floors were soo slippery), and everything was broke. The owner came to our room 10pm at night ( waking our daughter) to tell us we had to move because they booked our room to someone else. Then our new room had a broken bed ( sunk to the floor) and the curtain fell off the wall (2X, after they supposibly fixed it) . Almost hit our daughter in the head. What a nightmare. The owner also made lots of excuses about all the mishaps. Really put a big damper on our vacation. WAS NOT RELAXING AT ALL. RUN!!!!!!:{
