As we rushed inside so my 8 year old could use the restroom she was greeted by a medium sized cockroach running at her.
I let the front desk know within the first 30 minutes of arrival that there were no face washers and no chux for washing up dishes. There was a cut in half very well used (dirty) green scrubby there, but I wanted something clean for my own use. The receptionist said he would fix it up right away, but we were there for two nights and I never saw him again. The second day of our stay, when we returned from shopping we saw a small spider, it was light brown and had white on it...it was running from the entry to the bathroom, I sent it to the rainbow bridge to hang out with the roach from the day before....I did note there was a can of bug spray in the wardrobe, so maybe it's just a heavily infested area due to being close to the water?
Also worth noting is the TV wasnt a smart tv, so we couldn't access our Netflix account or cast our Netflix onto the TV from our devices.

Reception was hard to find as it is at the rear of the building and upon entry the restaurant staff seemed to be the only ones working. After a wait we were checked in with very basic verbal communication on where to find allocated room.
Parking is not dedicated and we were lucky to find a spot at the very rear of property The rooms are not clearly marked directional wise and we had to do a few walks around to find our door.
The room itself was roomy and relatively clean.
We were unable to open the door that led to the outdoor pool garden area at all and it appeared to have been broken for quite a while. The pool area looked like it needed a bit of attention and was not very inviting.
The restaurant menu seemed to be very nice however we did not eat there that night. Easy walk to other dining options.

The pictures they have of the rooms, pool & facilities on their website make this motel look good but in reality it’s nothing like that. The walls in the bathroom were disgusting, which I wiped down with disinfectant and towel. There was holes in the wall from where a smoke alarm may have been, the floors felt dirty, the pool area was over grown and the pool looked half empty. The whole place looked old, weathered and run down. I wouldn’t recommend staying at this place.
