Think twice
The quality of the rooms appears to have suffered a bit over the last couple of yrs. We stayed there 2 or 3 years ago. It was aged then, but now...consider it falling apart. Rub was filthy, definitely wasnt cleaned. The ceiling above the tub looked as if it was going to fall in on you. I showered with flip flops do to the conditon of the tub surface. Hot water knob was loose and falling off, didnt match the others. Someones hair still stuck to the walls of the shower. The wall near the bed appeared to have something all over it and was not cleaned. The floors definitely werent mopped or cleaned. 2 towels and hand towel were all that was provided in the room for drying off. No wash cloth of any type. The list could go on. Had to check out down front beach road at another hotel owned be the same company because no one was in the office when we were checking out. Until some type of renovation or something is done, we would never stay there again.I gave it 2 stars because it was cheap, but guess you get what you pay for. The view of the Gulf was all that was on point here and we were able to check in early" since or room was ready".

They need to update the bathrooms and the pool area. You have the best views from looking out at the beach. But inside the room is like a hookers 1981 motel.

Overall the property lived up to my expectations. It's more of a discount hotel so don't go expecting the Ritz Carlton. The AC worked great which is important to us! The fridge was nice because even though it was small, it had a separate freezer section for us to keep a full bag of ice in. The staff was friendly and replenished towels for us upon request. The bed was comfortable! Parking wasn't the best because the lot is shared by the restaurant (Sharky's next door, EXCELLENT FOOD BTW), but we wanted to park close because we had kayaks on the roof. We just circled around until someone left and it was never more than a few minutes. As expected..... The hotel was older and showing it's age (toilet wobbled, shower knobs seemed finicky but we managed, nothing major), but that's what we anticipated at this rate. We had an excellent time and would stay here again! Thanks, hope this helps!

Do your research!
Well....lol the pictures are not for this hotel they are for the sister property. Its a very basic room. If you stay more then 1 day they do not clean your room at all. Nor do they offer more towels or hand towels or toilet paper! The front desk staff are like dead zombies. No personality no smile nothing. Almost as if we are bothering them by asking for towels. Told the front desk lady, tiffany i believe that i was checking out and she said ok room number and bye. Not a thanks for staying not a smile, nothing lol. Parking is a nightmare bc of sharkys so be ready for parking lot wars and fights! The pool was so green you would have to be an idiot to get in! Sharkys was horrible as well but thats a different review lol! Anyway overall a 2 out of 10 simply bc its right on the beach so convenient is the only good thing about this place.

Only thing I didn't like was how tub started flaking white paint off. So I had to give my son 2yrs old a shower while holding him. That wasn't cool. But everything else was. Oh there was no remote to our TV also. U had to buy your own ice. $4 per bag. Not free like most of hotels. No breakfast either

This place is so terrible my 7yo walked in and called the place "trash". Start to finish: parking is a nightmare, the lot is shared by sharkys so you have to park across the street, down the road, and even that gets full. The room was dirty, sand all over the floor. Really run down looking. Blood smear on the bathroom wall. Just felt gross. The beds were so old you could feel every spring, I'm only 110 lbs and i was sinking into the matress. The walls are thin. You can hear the neighbors fart and everything going on on the beach. Also the AC unit was leaking water. The balcony: the door got stuck the second time we open and closed it, I'm thankful my kids were inside when we closed the door and werent stuck on the balcony. There was something dirty spilled on the balcony, chairs were sticky. The pool was disgusting and closed, so they sent us to their other property down the road, that pool was also disgusting. The property in general is run down and filthy, and not safe for small kids as there is high traffic due to sharkys shared parking lot and the need to walk to and from the overflow lot or sister hotel (seahaven). Not worth the price at all, I will not stay again.
