if I could give this place negative stars I would. It's self check in like an Airbnb, which I…read morethought was cool... until we needed literally anything at all...
The room had a musty smell that *immediately* began to bother my allergies, its by the beach so I figured it was just hard to keep completely dry.
You get limited resources, 3 small, sad pillows, no extra blankets, 1 towel per guest, and no place to get water (except the shower or bathroom sink and just... no.) or ice even in the entry area and hall.
The bathroom door didn't latch, much less lock and even if you held it closed there was a 2in peep hole where the latch *used* to be and the wood is worn down. We're married, c'est la vie. The toilet did *not* want to flush but if you held it a while it finally would. There was no hook for the hand towel they provided so we draped it across the back of the sink- not ideal.
Still, the room seemed nice enough at first.. until we tried to shower. It had a jacuzzi tub that we were excited to try and now will fuel my germaphobia and nightmares for years to come.
The shower walls had someone else's hair on them, an indication that they had not been cleaned. We were sore from the drive and the tub looked clean enough, even though the walls were gross, we planned to shower after anyway.
To start, it was broken, if you pressed the button the bubbles would start but as soon as you took your finger off the button, it stopped. We rigged it with our keys to get it going. When the vents started, the water began to make *actual* bubbles... we had not used soap yet. Then, to our everlasting horror, when the bubbles burst against the tub wall, a greenish brown scum spread across them. I about vomited so we quickly tried to drain the tub (we had to pry the plug out because it didn't have a handle or anything).
The dispensers for both the soap and shampoo were empty. They didn't even spurt a tiny bit out so they have probably been empty for quite some time. We had checked this ahead of time, thankfully, and borrowed some from travel companions in another room (they, too, were almost out. So, we had a coffee cup with *maybe* two quarter sized squirts of soap- once I added hand soap to the mix?). We always bring soap but it was only one night and hotels always provide it, right?
Once we had scrubbed the top layers of our skin off, we climbed into a creaky and *very* uncomfortable bed. The shade on the window beside the bed would not go down further than halfway and the curtains were this so they did not block the lights from the street. The AC is above the closet so there is no way to cover the light it produces which was an impressive amount (at this point, just about anything would have annoyed me, so...), this meant that there were bright lights on either side of us.
The toilet periodically made loud running water noises even though no one was using it. This, too, made sleep difficult.
Hands down, the *worst* hotel experience of my entire life. I created a yelp account for the sole purpose of warning all potential guests away.
TLDR: Please, SPARE YOURSELF. Rent some place else.
