6/10 Good

Great location
Good for the price and better for the location. 5 minute walk to the beach great area. Only issue was a broken bathroom window with pieces still stuck inside the window. Bathroom was a bit outdated and moldy but for the location and price... you be the judge :) I'd stay again tbh. I might bring my own cleaning stuff though and a area heater.

Moldy bathroom
Manager was very nice at check in. Room wasn’t horrible but bathroom was disgusting. There was mold on the ceiling and all over the bottom of the shower curtain which makes me think that it doesn’t get changed between guests. The bathroom had no ventilation (which is most likely the cause of the mold) other than a small window that had no screen. I’ve stayed at blue seal before (a different room) and it was not nasty like this one was. I doubt I’ll stay there again.

2/10 Poor

Terrible customer service. Completely unresponsive and lies. They said there was a room available and no one was there when I arrived with a No Vacancy sign on the door. I traveled 200 miles for lies. Don't know how they are in business!

8/10 Very good

Location was excellent. Staff very friendly. Upon entry to room, it smelt dank. We went to local store and got cleaning stuff and cleaned the bathroom and entire floor of hotel, fortunately it was a tile floor. I am positive those floors haven't been mopped in a long time. Bathroom door hinges were loose and had to lift door to get to close. The toilet seat was loose and moved around when you sat on it. Once properly cleaned, our stay was nice and being so local to beach, food and stores was excellent. I think the cleaning part should be more thorough.
Jon, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A few sachets of shampoo but no soap or body wash. No cups or glasses in the room and no coffee maker. Plus no TV guide on the channel numbers. And no way to work out how to turn on the AC. Overall a very basic and sterile room lacking in the usual amenities. We will not be staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay
It was a decent place to stay in for the price. Neighbors were quiet, and there was a little dog park right behind our room which was nice. It’s hard to find a place that takes pets. The staff was friendly and courteous. Plus, we enjoyed being within 2 minutes of the beach and restaurants.

8/10 Very good

not the worst but its okay for a night
the staff at checkin and check out were super amazing friendly and nice. the room we were in #15 its a super basic room PROS: the bed was comfortable. there was a microwave, mini fridge and table with two chairs also a tv. The towels seemed pretty new. The parking lot is easy to park in. CONS: the mini fridge door dragged on the ground making it hard to open and close. the room needs a deep clean and maintenance. the walls need painting as you can see were repairs were done and instead of using wall color its now a hige spot of white paint. the faucet in the bathroom is super loose to the point of needing repair. all the walls and door jams are horribly dirty. the floor was however super clean as well as the shower. This hotel was great for a night at 145.00 in mid oct.

Honestly
Great people running this place, beds were comfy and clean and rooms were safe. No frills at all.. no coffee maker, no iron or hair dryer. Location is great.

I liked how everything was in walking distance and the front desk was so accommodating! Had upgraded my room to a king bed and we even stayed an extra night on our trip.

The smoke detector is missing and the towel rack and toilet paper rack are missing or removed but the front desk manager is nice
