2/10 Poor

Staff was very pleasant. Cleanliness was horrible sheets and pillows full of stains and black hairs. Floors were not swept or moped. Toilet was dirty. We swept our own floor changed our pillow cases and slept on top of the beds after purchasing our own blankets at walmart. And bought cleaning supplies to clean our toilet. Very disappointed in the Cleanliness. Otherwise was within walking distsnce of everything. The pirates cove restaurant next door was amazing. The service and staff were amazing. The food was hot and fresh each time we stopped. Definitely worth dtopping to eat.

My room was outdated, sink and tub old, cracked and stained. Stains in the bathroom walls. It was clean, good place to stay on a guys fishing trip but not a romantic get away. Bed was ok, only stayed for one night. I probably won’t book again. If you’re going to leave a review please be honest. Had I know the condition I wouldn’t have booked here. It’s not a 10 out of 10. Location is good.

2/10 Poor

So the room was not very clean. We found it while staying there they only do housekeeping on Wednesday. The smoke alarm in our room was missing which made me feel very unsafe. We did ask them to clean the room and they did do it after we asked however I didn't smell any cleaner products. They were very short staffed. My husband after we got home found it he has bed bug bites on his arms. No response from the owner has been made. The staff was nice and the restaurant beside the hotel is nice.

2/10 Poor

My family and I will NEVER stay here again! We were booked for two nights and the first night we were there, we had issues with our door and not being able to get in. Our shower would intermittently cut off and turn back on. Lastly, there was an incident in the room directly above us where the occupants got in a physical altercation and one of them was ultimately stabbed! The experience was extremely traumatic for my 12 year old daughter!!! Given that we had all these issues with our room, we were told we could check out for the second night since there were no additional more available for Saturday night. We were then told by management we would be comped for Saturday night! We never received our refund and the management was EXTREMELY RUDE when I asked about the refund and they kept punting the problem to the next employee! Horrible experience which is so unfortunate since we did actually enjoy our room.
