WannaWanna was clean cute hotel located right on the beach! It has live music and a bar DIRECTLY outside of your hotel room and the best part is that you can’t even hear it at night! Even for being a hotel room it gives off a very at home vibe. We will ABSOLUTELY be staying again, thank you!!!

Overall great place to stay!

This place is great! It is an older place and a little dated but our room was clean and smelled amazing. Awesome location and the outside bar was cool. Food was delicious! Only thing that could have been better is the bed comfort. Very accommodating and everyone was so nice! Definitely will come back and stay here.

Dirty and uncomfortable

Rooms face a patio of people so no privacy. Its crazy loud outside all day long. Beds felt like sleeping on the floor, so uncomfortable. Room was dirty and outdated. We checked out aftwr 1 night and had to get a different hotel room. Would not recommend

Really disappointed in the bed sizes. Reservation said 2 queens, and they were definitely only full size beds. Love this location but even with a small family of 3, we weren’t able to get good sleep…kinda the main purpose of a hotel.
