For the money, the rooms were large, beds were king sized, and all clean. The hotel has little amenities but there's a cute coffee shop with a great breakfast on the backside. My teenage sons loved exploring the old hotel

Great location, decent hotel

This hotel was very close to the beach and a lot of tourist attractions which made it really easily accessible. reception was very good for arranging tours for us but they didn't even have an extra blanket when we asked for one. due to heavy poor on the day the roof was leaking in the hallway. the gym was not really in a working condition. Room was spacious and clean but would have preferred carpet floors instead of tile.

This is a by the hour sex hotel, pictures of half naked women to decorate the room. An abandoned shopping mall and the room is a store front with glass walls and a curtain to shield you from the outside viewers. Lady at the check in counter was asking us to fix her bra and coughing all over the front desk staff. Not a hotel. Not even a hostel. I don’t know what this is.

Property majority of the time does not have hot water. Does not have security safe. Hi placed bathtub, no security in place. Loud at night, bed covers with holes. Water pressure unstable , the stench of weed was coming into my bathroom with a hole they covered up with a portrait photo. Holes in the roof of the hallway dripping down into passage ways. The only thing that worked here was the air conditioning. Hotel is in ruins, literally falling apart.

A gem in the hotel zone

The outside of the hotel may probably fool you, but as soon as you enter the property, you notice a simple front desk and hallways, but good customer service. Something that should be mentioned is that the bathrooms that are considered public are aging and appear abandoned. But when you enter your room, you can see a room that is on par with large renowned hotels, clean and comfortable, I fell in love with my room. This hotel is undoubtedly a gem in the hotel zone and at a price that cannot be matched. It has a buffet restaurant, the food is good and the service is friendly. If you plan to spend the whole day out, this is the right hotel.
