The place was definitely fit for our needs. I understand this is a budget friendly listing, I was of course not expecting a 5 star hotel experience, we needed a place to sleep and this got the job done! Everything was fairly clean, except for a very bad smell upon first arrival, similar to BO or just general mustiness. But this went away by the time we came back at night. We appreciated the use of the beach chairs, cooler, and towels tremendously. Definitely appreciated the abundance of towels! The location is great and close to the bus line too.
Our one main complaint was that there were indeed roaches. Specifically in the bathroom, though the occasional one out in the main room. We had to buy Raid to kill them, (we didn’t use it all so we left it for future guests to use). We saw at least 20 throughout our stay. From the day we got there, before any food was brought in/trash left around, they were appearing. We had been extra cautious of not leaving anything out, food put away/taking trash out every night, but they seem to appear regardless of how clean the place is. Especially in the bathroom because there is very little ventilation, it gets very humid and probably attracted them the most there. Other than the roaches, which was the biggest pain point in this place, everything else was pretty satisfactory.
A few other notes:
I do wish there was a chain lock on the door, as there’s only one dead bolt on the door leading right out to the main area where a lot of people walk around late at night, so that was a little worrisome. Also there is a crack in the bottom of the door that would allow bugs and possibly small creatures to come in. The water pressure in the shower is very low, but it gets the job done.
tldr; great place to stay if you’re on a budget, there are indeed roaches, but nothing a little raid can’t take care of.
