I had reserved the Comfort Inn they called me the day before and moved me over to the Travel Lodge because of renovations. Travel lodge was dirty, no breakfast and just felt unsafe (phone line cut, rice on the walls, sink wouldnt drain, mold in room, carpet floors were all sticky). I tried to add puctures but it wouldn't let me.

Ocean view was poor. Couldn’t see the beach from 3rd floor, only water, boring. Hallways in disrepair and not cleaned. Abundance of mold present in laundry area. Room itself was ok. Besides the view. Overpriced.

Well where to began . I booked a hotel for 7/4 to 7/6 2025 when we got there the hotel had been closed since June 12 was a complete construction zone .

Then spent 2 1/2 hrs searching for hotel room that takes pets ans had to pay 700 a night . Ans there is no phone number to contact Expedia or the Hotel …. So who is getting my $ 555.00

Run Run Run!

This place is absolutely disgusting! Came here with my boyfriend for a getaway at the beach, to our surprise there were many many roaches! When we called the front desk to see if we could potentially switch rooms or get a refund the front desk hung up on us, when calling back they were super rude and said they wouldn’t refund us and that we had to do it through the booking app and that it wasn’t up to them. we were charged for 2 days and didn’t even stay 1.

I booked 6/6-6/7/25 and received confirmation. After driving ~360 miles and arriving at the property to check-in, I was informed that they were closed with no further assistance from the property. I chatted with Expedia and they offered an account credit to use toward another booking. Luckily I was able to book a similar property not to far away for the same time frame. I don't understand how things like this happen. This could have been disastrous, but thankfully everything worked out in the end.

This place is a dive no questions asked. However we excepted it for what it was. Great showers and comfortable beds! But the overall asthetic of the place, it is falling apart. We were in a room on the ocean front, the door to the balcony was falling apart, with an old rusted door chain and the actual lock on the door not working. The door entering the room had a gap you could see through, and sometimes the room key worked. Since all we did was sleep there, it was okay. However I would not recommend if you want a “family vacation experience “ If you want a warm shower and a comfortable bed, it wasn’t bad.

It’s cheap for a reason

The room was semi renovated. The bathroom floor had cracks with mold and dirt buildup. The seems for the bathtub were also filled with mold. On the last night of our stay we found bed bugs. Needless to say we will not be back.
