If I could give zero stars, I would. I’ve worked in property management for over thirteen years, and this is by far one of the worst properties I’ve encountered. There was black mold everywhere—inside the AC units, on the walls, furniture, and in the bathrooms. The rooms were completely infested. When I tried to open the refrigerator, black mold coated my hands.
My fiancée and I approached the front desk to address the issue, but the attendant refused to cancel our booking or issue a refund. I’m now contacting my credit card company to file a formal claim, something I’ve never had to do before. In property management, we would consider the room they offered us “uninhabitable.”
For the sake of your health and the health of your family and friends, avoid this place at all costs.

I would say the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Went here for oceans calling which provided good location for that. But they also price gouged so bad it should be illegal. Literal trash establishment. Rooms were not like pictures. Tiny. Beds uncomfortable. Shower was smaller than a mini fridge and it flooded the whole bathroom. Stayed Sept 2024

So I came for a 2 night trip and once we got there we had to go to another hotel just to get a key. Once we got the key we went in the hotel and it was dirty the shelves wouldn't open and close. The beds had this comforter and The design was ugly and I took it off and of course it was to cover up the amount of sand that was there. The bathroom was small and only had 1 towel. The air conditioning kept turning on and off. The walls are like paper thin and you could hear noises when your sleeping. The TV did not work whatsoever and the wifi was bad. And the thing is I thought it was free Wi-Fi but I had to put a pin so I didn't want to waste my time going to a 2 min walk just to ask. The parking was great since it was free and there was free soap. Super close to the beach. So out of this trip 1 star. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE
