7.2/10 Good! (1,992 reviews)
"Loved the location, right on the beach!!! The staff was all great and helpful!! Live music, pool and jacuzzi. The hotel is old, run down and dirty. But despite this, we would definitely go back. Pros outweighed the cons. It’s also a less touristy area so not as crowded."

"The room was freshly painted and remodeled. The sink in the vanity has a slow drain and would fill up pretty quickly. Then as it drained it had a awful smell to it like dead fish. The rest of the stay was good."
