My stay was one of the worst I have ever experienced. There was a person under the influence of drugs screaming day and night right next to my room, and several others drinking and using drugs on the stairs. The facilities themselves require massive improvement; for instance, the back door leading to the small balcony had no lock, and the stairs are practically falling apart, with several old, loose planks. The only redeeming aspects of this place were the air conditioning, the shower, and its proximity to the beach. If you have children or are traveling as a family, think twice: this hotel is not family-friendly; it is, quite simply, too dangerous.

Room had an ocean view and covered parking. The sliding glass door leading to the valcony looked like it had been broken in to multiple time and it didnt lock at all. Air conditioning worked as well as the heater. The orginal room we booked we couldnt get the door to open, even the manager couldnt get it opened so we got moved. There were some guest that were outside and yelling profanities until wee hours of the night that did wake us up. We just needed a place to lay our head because we got rained out camping so it served its purpose. The front desk guy that checked us in was phenomenal and very kind.

The pictures look nothing like the actual hotel. The outside is falling apart. The inside looks decent aside from run down walls that were painted over. Days and weeks old dust in corners. The air conditioning, while good, is in questionable maintenance condition. The view, nonetheless, is good. The bathroom works. Provisions are minimal. Tho the staff is friendly and tentative.

AVOID THIS SH:TSHOW - Terrible hotel. Should be condemned and destroyed. Worst condition I’ve ever seen. And I frequently stay in “cheap” hotels all over the world. This one is even intolerable for me. Do not stay here. You will regret it if you do, no matter how low the price.

Had a good view of the ocean, the staff was vary friendly and polite, the property its self wasn't at all great mainly the bathroom and bedding and wall sockets, there where several holes in patches in the bathroom, and the carpets where coming up and barely held down with duct tape, the door to the bathroom was broken and we struggled to open and close it, shower pressure was also really weak. The bedding was fine beside all crazy amounts of holes in them and the wall sockets only 1 worked and it was quite frustrating. 4/10 I would have happily payed the extra 20-30 bucks from the other hotels around if I knew this would be my experience. Hopefully this saves someone from the same experience.

This motel was almost comically bad: fixtures were missing or loose, nearly every piece of fabric in the room had at least one hole in it, every surface needed painting or retouching, the wifi kept going in and out. I was looking for a cheap place to stay, and I got what I paid for.

Toilet didn’t flush unless you took the tank lid off and used your hand to reach into the tank flush mechanism. The room smelled like a pack of wet dogs were the prior guests. The balcony door did not lock and didn’t seal (major draft). Balcony curtain had holes, as did the bed blanket—from visible, charred cigarette burns (the dogs must have nodded off with their cigs still lit). The room was absolutely filthy. Disgusting on a whole new level. I knew it was off-season cheap, but had no idea it would be that bad. Was able to cancel reservation and get a refund. The heating worked. I was able to see the ocean from a distance. But, damn.

The host was very nice, ac got real cold and when the sun rises.. the bay is right there. Open the broken sliding door and the breeze finds you. Definely might feel unsafe but we had no priblems for 2 nights. Super cheap and location is perfect. We came to play baseball and fish.. perfect spot to do both.

Wouldn’t stay here angain until it’s updated.

The AC, bed, and view from the balcony were very nice. However, the ice machine was broken. The coffee machine was broken. There were holes in the bedspreads. Also, the curtains were falling off, and both door locks were broken. Bathroom was pretty nasty and the shower was for somebody who is about 5 feet tall. The clerk was nice enough to refund our second night so we went somewhere else. This motel has the potential to be a great place to stay super close to the beach with just a few simple updates.

Some of the electrical outlets to charge electronics did not work, the door to the balcony did not luck, the towels, were very very thin, the soap was a slivers of soap, the handler of the water faucet in the bathroom fell off.
The beds were clean, the very, very, very thin towels were clean, the mattress was comfortable.
Over all experience was disappointing very, very, disappointing. What ever I paid was way too much. The pool area was dangerous, wheelchair lift broken, the pole and it was rusting, lounge chairs broken.

I do not generally do reviews, but this one deserves something. First off, a man called asking what time we would be arriving. When I told him between 10 and 11 p.m., he told me we should go somewhere else as he only had two rooms left. I told him that I've had these reservations for two months and I intended on staying there. When we arrived at 10:30 p.m., we were tired and yucky from the beach. The doors didn't shut properly, the tub didn't drain, the bathroom door was held together with screws, there were electrical wires sticking out of the wall, the mirror had fallen off the wall and was just stood up on the counter, carpet was coming lose, drywall patches were not finished, curtains barely hanging on, holes in the blankets, the AC almost worked adequately, and so much more. Expedia should disallow this property and its owners from listing. I will say, though, that the sheets were so crisp they still had fold creases on them.

I liked the location I could easily travel to Portland or towards S Padre Island Dr within 10-20 mins. North Beach was just a walk away the Parking was close and the ac and hot water worked great The biggest factor in staying here was the price. What I didn’t like was the cleanliness of the rooms the carpet felt dirty and just from getting out the shower and walking to your clothes on the bed would dirty your feet the color scheme felt outdated we rented multi rooms and some had the chain locks ours didn’t the microwave was dirty some of the lights didn’t work nor the plugs the balcony windows didn’t lock and the rr was small for a person 5’ 7 you would need to bend to wash your hair because the shower head was so low even for the price of the hotel all and all I would not recommend staying here even though the price is great it just didn’t feel worth it when after leaving you feel like you need to burn everything you brought with you.
