I liked how the hotel was near the beach and they had their own shower to clean off. parking was available. I didn’t like how there was cockroaches or that the rooms were kinda tight. For a cheap price, it wasn’t too bad.

Location is excellent as it’s directly across from the beach access. I wouldn’t say it was dirty, but not sure if I could call it clean either. The furnishings were a bit run down and the kitchenette had sparse supplies. You get what you pay for here

Has potential if taken care of properly. Lots of mold in bathroom, very limited soap and towels as no one stays on property. Virtual kiosk will check you in and out, very limited people on property.
