I really dont like the $100 "security deposit" that takes 5-7 business days to be returned. Other than that, location is great, room amelt like chlorine but i guess that's better than smelling dirty.

Bed bugs, dirty sheets, the smell of mildew and terrible wifi. We were not expecting fancy, but what we found was just gross. It's obviously an older building, but absolutely no effort was put into keeping things fresh. The towels they gave us had yellow stains and the white sheets had yellow stains. I even found a couple of bed bugs. I don't usually write reviews but this made me compelled. The price is high so you would expect a little better, but no, I do not recommend anyone staying here, the building should be condemned and started anew. That being said, the location is nice and close to the beach.

Pros: Close to Porretto Beach, Seawall, Dinning, and bars. All within Walking distance… Staff seemed friendly. View of Porretto beach from the window. Cons: This is a very old property. Rooms are second floor or third floor without an elevator. So if you have heavy suit cases or coolers you have to walk it up with force. Stairs are very narrow and you have to proceed with caution. It is evident that the property received damage from a previous Hurricane. Remodeling is noticed but they could have done a better job in my opinion. The room was really small especially the restroom. Only one person fits in the shower. TV is an old 32inch Samsung and is driven by a fire stick. TV stays on the wrong output so when you turn it on it does not work. You have to manually touch the tv output with your finger and change it to HDMI. Room Light was out and they fixed the second day. The overall construction of the room is poor. AC faces the restroom. No house cleaning what so ever. Sand paper towels and limited toilet paper. Did not try the breakfast. Parking is shared with other tenants and customers from other bars and properties, so it was hard to find a parking spot. A lady came banging on our door at 10:30am which is not check out time. That was annoying.

They need to exterminate for roaches and clean the bathrooms better. Foundation to the rooms needs to be leveled better, holes and breaks can cause someone to get hurt. Last, need more parking spaces as they’re next to 3 bars.

I got there and got ready and left right away. So I didn’t check anything until I got back I would say around 7pm the toilet seat was BLACK from dirt I wiped it down & the toilet paper I used was soooo dirty from cleaning the toilet seat when it came time to shower the towels had dried up blood as well and what looked to be urine stains … . The walls are thin & I could hear the family next door YELLING at their kid to go to sleep cussing at them. I would never ever stay there again . Don’t stay there tbh it is not worth it

They gave me a room with someone in it already at first. The bathroom had no toilet paper and not enough towels or wash clothes. The tv didn’t work. It was hooked up but still couldn’t watch it, not sure why but nobody was available to get it fixed at night time. The room was very hot when we went inside even, took hours to cool it down. Not to mention the lock was messed up on the door. One of the other rooms had the window knocked out of it as well.
