We asked for towels 3 different times. There were four adults and one toddler. Each time they came to our room with ONE towel. for five people. Super dirty, the whole hotel was disgusting. key stopped working multiple times. horrible, rude staff.

Accommodating staff and proximity to the beach.
Bright light was shining through the window without a way of blocking it out. The remote control did not work and there was no way to shut off Tv without unplugging it. Very little soundproofing between walls and the motel is right next to a bar so it was loud at certain times of night. Not sure the cost is on par with what we encountered.

nothing, it was completely the opposite of what the pictures show online before we booked and smelled like mildew
our rooms smelled like mildew and when I asked if our friends with young babies could be switched to a different room that was cheaper priced but it had two beds in it instead of one, they absolutely refused

You asked what did I like about this hotel but I didn't stay there but only thing I liked about it. When I got to the Suft hotel . late afternoon around 6:00 . I was so disgusted, it was so nasty and it smelled . The front desk clerk was so rude that I canceled my appointment to stay. there even though the false advertising . I had paid in advance . To surf hotel that I saw online look nothing like the hotel that I saw when I got.to the hotel.Il had to pay for one night. To cancel my reservation. When I got there , people were drinking on the sidewalk. the liquid store was attached to the beach hotel. This caused my anxiety to kick in. Then it got worse I called booking.com to cancel my reservation. So I had to find another hotel on a Friday night can you imagine. Booking.com the people were so rude I had to go through four people before I could cancel my reservation . I explained to booking.com that took me an hour and 40 minutes just to cancel the reservation. nowhere to stay . I couldn't stay in a roach infested hotel they were so rude . Station to cancer the reservation I had to pay for one night it is such a scam please don't stay there be one you will really be disgusted shame on people and these slum hotels just using innocent American people just trying to have a nice weekend you work so hard for your money then you end up throwing it away because of a scam. disgusting hotel please don't stay there it is a false advertisement.

After the rat incident they gave us a room cleaner than the one we got at first
The rooms are too dark only one light in ceiling too dark. There was s rat in the room. And too hot even with air on. They gave us s room in the back upstairs. Beds are so uncomfortable to expensive for what they offer. No wifi

I can say the Staff were very friendly, the beach was very close. If you are a drinker (I am not) There is an extra perk with a bar next door and a Liquor Store. Shower had great pressure and had hot water. It was the nicest part of the room by far!
The biggest issue was the cleanliness! The room needed a lot of cosmetic work but it could have been overlooked if it were at least clean! curtains had nasty gunk on it the floor corners were nasty and the mirror in the bathroom was hanging on by a thread! The beds were hard and very old. the door had a wide crack in it! the hot water would not work on the sink and had very low cold pressure. The light Outside was super bright and couldn't be darkened enough to have any good sleep! The outlets and light switch covers were falling off the wall and disgusting!

All!! We were very pleased with the room, bed, bathroom and extremely enjoyed the view of the ocean from the porch. All our needs we’re very close.
Nothing, everything was great.

The price was what I liked
It's a little rundown kind of shady, but the fluorescent light outside my room constantly stays on and do they do not have blackout curtains so I did not sleep very well

Nothing did because I stayed somewhere else and tried to cancel but they refused to let me cancel my booking when I called their front desk. I didnt stay there and they still charged me full price! I want my $120 refund!
They refused to cooperate and give me my refund of $120 because I didnt stay at that location, I stayed somewhere else for the 3 days I was there for the Rally. I'm extremely unsatisfied with this place and I want my refund of $120 since I didnt even stay there nor did I check in!

It was a good value and right across from the beach. The room was clean and appeared to be recently remodeled. Had a good sized mini fridge that kept our drinks and snacks cold. Shower water was nice and warm. Staff were extremely kind. Room stayed nice and cold!
Not the best location if you don’t want to drive everywhere. No blackout curtains (wasn’t the biggest deal) and the comforters are extremely thin. If you stay here and get cold at all make sure and bring a blanket from home.
