One of the worst experience. Arrived at 12 am, received a room which was old and dirty. Candles was burning to cover the smell. Roaches on the wall, I called a guy from downstairs so he literally killed it with his hnds stating that room was sprayed today. I couldn't stay in this place. Left the property, called Expedia. They gave me $100 credit. I never received my money back for a booking. Stay away from this place.

Our room had a terrible odor, floors and counters were dirty, I even found a cigarette bud on floor. Small cockroaches running around everywhere. We would’ve left and got a different hotel but everything was booked. The bed was squeaky and old. I would never stay here again or recommend to anyone.

Reservation for two nights. Left after one night even though I had been charged an outrageous rate for two. I could not stay there. Hotel in very poor condition. Information on Hotels.com was deceptive. I should have paid more attention to reviews.

This place is an absolute hell hole!!!!! It’s by far the WORST hotel I have been to. Everything is dirty, broken and there are cockroaches crawling around. There is tons of mold on the ceiling. The toilet doesn’t flush. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

We missed a flight so got this room late around 8pm it looked nothing like the photos at all and was infested with bugs . The sheets had not been changed and were dirty and sand in the bed . I spent two hours on the phone trying to get through to Expedia to get help to move and could not get through . My boyfriend slept outside at the pool because we found 2 bedbugs . I also had bugs in my bags and coach roaches everywhere when we left at 5 am to the airport and I had to throw them out when I got home .When I finally got through to Expedia they had me contact the hotel.. The hotel refused to give us a refund . We paid about the same a night for a week in Hollywood and had a lovely clean hotel right on the water . Do not stay here it’s gross and looks to be home for meth users

You're not going to impress anyone going back to your room but It's not a bad place to stay for a night or two. It's an older building that could use some work but all in all, not bad. It does have long term tenants as opposed to guests staying the weekend. It's definitely not your typical hotel.

Where do I start... We checked into room 125. Dont take this room if its offered. Theres generally cleanliness included in a room no matter where you go and this room was awful. The room had not been cleaned after the last guest and it was left that way clearly for awhile. The pillowcases had a liquid spill on them. They also had holes torn in them. We didnt use them and Im glad we had our own. The tv was leaning against the wall and could fall at any moment, in addition it was covered in about an inch of dust. Theres a "desk" in the back foyer in front of the bath room. There was a nugget of fecal matter along with a used cup in the drawer. The bathroom hadnt been touched at all. The toilet, sink nor bathtub had been cleaned let alone wiped down. The clear shower curtain had mold on it. We had to check in pretty late in the evening and didnt feel comfortable knocking on someones door for another time so late at night. We had simply checked in put our stuff in the room and went to find food. When we came back an hour and a half later there was no parking. Theres maybe 10 spaces total, and theres always an ahole who cant park properly so we had to park in the motel next door. So we had to walk in the rain to get to our room. I was extremely disappointed bc it looks super cute and peaceful on the outside and the room at first glance looked great. There were no other vacancies in the area and we booked through hotels app so theres no cancellation.

The price was low for the location, but you get what you pay for. Very unclean room, stuff left under the bed, and pee on the toilet seat. The room felt very unsafe, the hindges to door were on the outside, no phone in room, and ouside locks were broken through the wood so you could not dead bolt. Other rooms had full windows broken out of them.

The service was friendly, accommodating, and fast. However, the cleanliness was left to be desired. The bathroom smelled in the first room we were given, but the staff quickly put us in a new room. The shower heads were turning that greenish color. For what you pay it’s in a reasonably good location, but the upkeep on the rooms could be improved.

Stayed in room 121 rooms needs a new mattress the one in there is a very cheap one and not for hotel setting and a new a/c which made more loud noise then worked. This hotel needs a lot of repairs and the stuff that was repaired was band-aided repaired. Very convenient to the beach and clean pool on the property

There is quite literally nothing good to say about this place. We booked our room to get a few hours of sleep after a late flight in before driving down to the keys. When we got there, the office was closed even though it said they have a 24 hour front desk. We followed the instructions on the door to call or knock on room 110 for after-hours check-ins and got no response. It was late, so I could have lived with that. But when we called to get refunded since we did not receive the service we paid for, both us and the hotels.com agent got absolutely scolded by the owner, even though none of this was our fault. He refused to let me even speak, refused to refund, accused us of coming in drunk and causing a disturbance, and told me common sense should have told me to alert him of our late arrival (even though there was a 24 hour desk advertised), basically calling me stupid. Literally no one has ever spoken to me as rudely as this man did, and I was a paying customer! Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced anywhere. I am now disputing through my credit card company. Wouldn’t ever try to stay at this place even if someone paid me to.

Truly just a flop house for spring breaker kids. Wanted to add a date on the day I checked in before I even saw the room. Desk Clerk jacked up rate for a Sunday night stay and thankfully I refused. Was there all 5 days since an Expedia booking and it was prepaid or I would have left.
