It smelled of rodents and mildew , but the view was beautiful and it was very quiet. There were no bugs and that’s always a plus. And everything in the room worked.

This place was quite dirty. We did not want to take our shoes off. The toilet was not properly cleaned, aesthetically the place looked very shotty. They claim to be newly remodeled, but there were huge areas were painted been peeled off the wall. The turntable in the microwave was missing. Nothing looked remotely new.

This hotel was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was nice for the price except the bed sheets were dirty. That wasn't the serious problem. The serious problem was the amount of drug dealing and people going through stolen property under the stairwell next to our room. When I notified the owner we weren't comfortable staying he refused to give a refund for the following night as I had paid for two nights there. We ended up leaving without even putting our luggage in the room as we were afraid we might get robbed. Seriously unsafe hotel. I have stayed on Ocean View many times over the past 4 years and never had an issue like this.

The rooms were not clean, apparently they did not change the sheets, they did not even look at the the bathroom to clean them, and the smell of cigarettes and marijuana in the room was unbearable.
