No access to the beach private property all along the beach line. Even worse there is no sandy shoreline to walk barefoot.

No toilet paper...at all in the bathroom.
There was a pouch of tuna on the floor. The refrigerator was not cold the microwave should not be used. It's a fire hazard. The A/C filter needed cleaning -it was choking the flood lights in the room are horrible but that's the only source light. You get what you pay for, right

Very worn-down property — I’d say you get what you pay for, but our sheets weren’t even cleaned properly, with obvious and disgusting stains present. The comforter had numerous cigarette burns in it. The toilet had issues that threatened to overflow it even when going #1.

Extremely unsafe. My girlfriend was stalked twice in the parking lot by another occupant in the 6 minutes between when she arrived and I did. Then when I caught him the third time and he returned to his room, we requested a new room. Our new room (room 39) was filled with 2 live roaches, a huge dread roach, mosquitoes, stained bed sheets and an AC unit that was unable to cool the room after 2 full hours.
In over 250 low budget hotel stays, I’ve never complained or had to ask for a refund. I was not given one and was told by the manger Suresh Patel that I was lying.

What I liked is every time I come I like cause it's quite peaceful ground floor . The price is good . Close to fishing and other places . What I didn't like this time was the TV went out the first night the person came to fix it then it went out after 10 minutes . Went back to say hey tv out again . They said they wouldn't fix it till next day so that whole night was boring without tv. Went to sleep early .they did come the next morning but it was to fix it but . . But I will come and stay here again. TV going out won't stop me coming back to this place .

It was old needs work but if you just need a bed it works. Had a plastic chair to sit in was not comfortable. Tub looked new and bathroom sink looked new but all the rest needs updating. It was quiet , good location.

Good if you're on a budget. Room was clean had adequate lighting & AC, but no accessible electrical outlets other than the one next to the sink.

I must say I had reservations on booking here when I saw the picture of the hotel itself. But the picture of the room and the reviews I saw made me go against my initial thoughts and I booked a room. Well let’s say I should’ve stuck with my initial thoughts. My room was nothing like pictured. I walked in to a room that was dark and extremely hot because they did not have the AC on during 100• temps. By dark I mean not inviting as the pictures suggest. Even with lights on and blinds open it did no justice. The paint was very old and covered in dust. The sink leaked from pipe when water was on. The toilet would not flush properly. The bedding was old and damaged. The only thing I would say was good about this place was the pillows and location. If it wasn’t for it being non refundable and my money being short I would’ve found somewhere else to go as soon as I opened the door. I’m assuming the other rooms were better than mine to see 7.0 reviews. There’s no way room #29 would get a 1.
