this place has a terrible cleanness, the only thing that it did look clean where the towels and the garbage that had new bags, after looking inside the room I try to geet another room at some other place, but I wasn't able to find one, so I had no choice, lucky brought my own blanket and pillow, I could not take a shower, the stand up shower was so nasty I could not stand bare feet on it, find some place else to stay definitely, not here.

The room for the price was ok. There was chipped paint all over the carpet from the bathroom to the closet side. The nightstand was sticky and dirty. The bathroom floor was not swept, by the bathroom window it was dusty and the window was hard to open. We also found a big hardware nail on the carpet next to one of the beds.

Julia at the front desk was a fountain of information. She directed me to a place nearby to walk the beach, find the Safeway, and the Red Hut Café. The room had a microwave and refrigerator, very helpful. Nothing fancy, but comfortable.

Upon check in the lady at the front desk shared they were having plumbing issues and would need to shut the water off.....red fleg #1 The carpet smelled horrible, I have never been to a hotel where the beds had miss matching covers, The covers didnt smell clean The wall near the closet was pealing. Long story short me and my family checked in and 20 minutes later checked out. The lady at the front desk was very professional and respectful. She was apologetic and made it easy to recieve my refund.

Do you ever go and check these properties before putting them on your booking page? The property is run down and has people living there full time. It's not ADA compliance.
