When we arrived check in was ok, then went to check the room and realized the tv wasn't working, meanwhile another couple shows up to the same room saying they also were booked to the same room. After 6hrs and several attemps to get someone to fix the tv or give us a different room, we were told they couldn't fix the tv or replace the tv and couldn't give us another room because they were at capacity. However, the room beside us was empty all night and the vacancy sign was lit all night. We had reserved a room with a balcony and ocean view but got neither. And to top it off the wifi wasn't avaliable the entire stay.

Nastiest hotel ever

This hotel was disgusting and the front desk lady gave me the wrong room continuing to insist that’s what the booking stated. Then the room itself was disgusting it had roaches and looked like it hadn’t been clean in a month. The room looked completely diff than the pictures they have posted. My whole weekend trip with my family was very uncomfortable due to the slum conditions.. it was not refundable or I would have been outta there. A bunch of drug addicts stay on the very bottom floor and just a bunch of weird rough looking people. Would never book again NEGATIVE 10/10 experience. We got towels but no rags .. the front desk person would disappear for hours so wasn’t much help for anything smh. Just the worst hotel experience I’ve had in a good while DO NOT BOOK HERE
