Ocean puke inn

Im not typically ever a complainer but people should know this place is a bit rough not for the faint of heart. When i got in there was fecies floating in the toilet and it was dirty as hell all over the bathroom. Bugs yerin and dirt and food splatters. Microwave was gross covered in old food.The sheets had dirt on them and stains. I dropped my phone under the bed and there were used syringes. Sticky counter by the bathroom. Shower had who knows what film dirt scum etc.in addition to that super freezing cold night. Right on the water. The heater is too old to work or put out any heat no matter how high you put it. Frozen in the dirty motel is a vibe you will never forget unfortunately and youre sure to shiver a little each time you remember.

Revolting, checked out after one night

Disgusting. Fresh blood on the sheets, mattress cover smeared with something brown (with fingerprints, so done on purpose) and had cigarette burns in it, naked frayed ends of wires hanging out of the walls, smelled musty, toilet did not flush, no hot water. Dried silly string stuck to the walls. Heat broken, only worked at 85 degrees. Was supposed to stay two nights, checked out after one, did not get any money back. Will be appealing to hotels.com

Worst of them all

The experience at this hotel was profoundly disappointing, failing to align with the expectations set by its pricing. Guests may find themselves questioning the value they receive for the amount spent, as the accommodations do not meet even the most basic standards of comfort and service. The disparity between cost and quality is stark, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction that overshadows any potential positives. Upon arrival, it became evident that the hotel did not live up to its advertised amenities and services. The condition of the rooms was subpar, with issues ranging from inadequate cleanliness to outdated furnishings. Such shortcomings are particularly disheartening given the financial investment required for a stay, leaving patrons feeling as though they have not received a fair return on their expenditure. In summary, this hotel represents a regrettable choice for travelers seeking a pleasant and worthwhile lodging experience. The lack of correlation between the price charged and the quality of the stay creates a frustrating scenario for guests. It is advisable for potential visitors to consider alternative accommodations that offer a more equitable balance of cost and comfort.
