This hotel was the worst we have stayed at in years, and we travel fairly frequently. The hotel had multiple spiders living in a dirty bathroom, broken lights/switches, a stained floor, and terrible odor. The only positive was that we didn’t get bedbugs.

The world's worst motel

This is a terrible facility. The ice machine on our floor didn't work. The water fountain in the lobby didn't work. The shower curtain rod in the bathroom was bent almost in a U shape. There was a pervasive smell of cleaning fluids. The bath towels weren't even long enough to wrap around you. Need I go on?

Mold and Mildew. Filthy room. The place stunk and my daughter and I woke up with sinus issues. I went and purchased bleach at 10:30 pm, and over 10 miles away, to pour on the black mold in the bathtub and when that did not help I pulled the filters out of the AC unit and they were caked in dirt and dust. I booked for 2 nights, stayed for the 1 night and they are refusing to refund me.

Lots of charm and character

Beautiful old, charming building in a great location! Expect all the delights, quirks, and character of staying in a building on the National Register of Historic Places. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was able to keep up with a 95 degree day. We really enjoyed our stay!

The hotel was awfully gross, a strong stench through the hallways leading you into your room. All the hallway walls and doors are covered in dirty hand prints and I’m not talking a few kids came through, I’m talking it hasn’t been cleaned in YEARS. The shower had mildew all on the crevices, rusty/ moldy shower drain. Back door to go outside was awful. Looks like the shade that goes over the top has never even been dusted. Some sort of splatter all over the walls in a big noticeable area that clearly no one bothered to clean before we came in. The grounds are unkept, the entrance that says “locked between 11pm-6am” didn’t even have a lock mechanism so anyone could walk in at any point in time. The pool….. Bugs and webs and smudge lined the corner of the room and walls, along with another unique stench- and I’m not talking about your normal chlorine smell because I’m not too sure there was any. Pool felt slimy to the touch. For being such a popular tourist area it is appalling to have been faced with the condition of that place. I booked a 6 night stay and left IMMEDIATELY and checked in elsewhere. Photos need to be uploaded as they depict a very decent beachy place, that is NOT the case. I wouldn’t stay here for FREE. Had to pay for 1 night due to cancellation policy- lesson learned on this one and also adding it to the book or NEVER GO AGAIN.
