I’m not sure I was even staying at the same hotel as some of these reviews. To be fair, this hotel has been/is going through renovations. But in reality, this is one of those old-school motels that cater to people who can’t for a decent place. I made the mistake of reserving, and I went with it based on the reviews. My first night I pulled up to check in and a drunk driver, probably from the smoky tiki bar, drove through a stone wall into the pool area. My second night there I drove up and there was probably 10 to 15 guys, shirtless, smoking weed, being rowdy at one of the end units. I proceeded to go into the lobby where another lady and her son had to come in and explain these men were videotaping her and making comments. She didn’t feel safe and she wanted to leave. I certainly didn’t feel safe walking around as a woman period. The place is filled with all men Construction workers. The tiki bar is so smoky to even sit at, even though it is outside. It’s a Haven for the local drunks. I understand they’re trying with this place, but it’s worth another few dollars to say at a name-brand chain. This place is Gross.. To top it off, there are ants everywhere. I didn’t even eat in the place, and their ants all in my bags. I am sure they are all in my truck by this point. I would have left, but I didn’t have the money last minute to change. And with the hurricane that just went by, there aren’t a lot of choices.

The staff was very helpful and kind at the front desk. The room was clean, however for some reason it was really damp. All the towels were somewhat damp. Even when I returned home and unpacked my clothes that had been hung up in the closet were lightly damp. Not sure why...the AC was working.
