An Obanion couple getaway
The stay was great, the only downfall is the water did not get hot when showering but everything else was awesome. The building itself is outdated but the rooms were in good shape. For the price can't complain plus the location was great too!

Horrible experience, shower overflowing and kitchen faucet came apart and they were jackhammering repeatedly, we left 2 days early and we feel we were ripped off and should be entitled to compensation!!

Low cost, low expectations
The rooms are spacious and overall not terrible, it’s just an old building. The AC was loud and the room was either cold or hot. This is fine for a budget friendly vacation but don’t expect much.

Amazing for the price.
This was a wonderful place to stay. When you can see that a place is older, you wonder if the pictures will match reality and they absolutely did. I still can’t believe that I was able to get a room with a beach walkout at such an affordable price. The pool was heated and well maintained and there was plenty of room for a relaxing walk on the beach. We certainly hope to stay here again.

Don't book here. They may not honor your reservati
We booked a room a month before the date. Drove 15 hours to find out our room was unavailable. Was offered a room of less value at same price. Ended up staying at another hotel with nicer rooms for less money. We have stayed here many times before. 2nd time our room was not available.
