Great value. Property very clean. It’s an older property with nice updates. Rooms look like the picture. Nice unobstructed views. 3 pools next to beach. Quick check in. Convenient grocery shopping and eateries right across the street. Felt safe. Some doors slam very loudly but otherwise great for price.

While the location is excellent the property itself is extremely outdated. I stayed in one of the oceanfront rooms. The room was clean however rust was on the bathtub, doors, refrigerator and stovetop. The entire property needs to be rehabilitated and I’m sure their rating would skyrocket based on being a beachfront hotel. There are so many hotels on the strip and I would have definitely bypassed this one had I known in advance. My best recommendation is to pay a few extra bucks for a nicer hotel. I only stayed here because everything was booked due to the NASCAR races. Don’t do it!!! Thank me later

Older property. Neat and generally clean. Mold on the curtains, no towel racks or shelves in the shower or bathroom. Lights flickered, went out and came back on. Close look at things, they were dirty in the kitchen area. Got woken up middle of the night by loud neighbors. Could hear everything. Beds were springy. Nice view. The hot tub and second pool were closed. Terrible breakfast. Ran out of things.
