    Seems like there is a new owner. The restaurant/bar has been closed. Light in the bathroom was out, no towels in the room, no blowdryer. The hot tub has been closed the last two times we have been there and now the pool had been drained. Male staff member at front desk was not helpful. Asked if him about a blowdryer, he said he would look and call me back. Twenty minutes later I went down to speak with him, he was watching videos on his phone with his feet on the desk.

    Location is perfect! Room was clean.

    There was practically zero cook ware or utensils when I got to my room. I asked for some to and received an odd mishmash of stuff. But it took them days to come up with a single metal spoon. I had a couple of tiny plastic spoons instead. The place needed paint and the hallways smelled really strongly of carpet or other cleaning solution. Maybe from cleaning dog messes. There were barking dogs across the hallway. Towels were worn and stained. Same for the bed clothes. Some of the staff were nice but some were sort of sullen. I asked politely for more paper towels and the front desk person just glared at me, went into a closet, came out with a roll and handed it to me without speaking a single word.

    The basics were fine. The shower was hot, no mildew, no leaks. The stovetop and microwave / convection oven in good shape. The fridge pretty large and worked well. No icemaker but ice trays provided.

    The mattress sorely needs replacement. Mismatched decor as though they are re-supplying furniture from thrift stores. Some lamps didn't work and one was sticky to the touch where it could have easily been wiped down. Pool was out of commission.

    Ease of access to seminar location at a much more manageable price range. Unit was spacious. Having a kitchen facility is great, and even a stove top was remarkable.

    Old dirty tub, broken micro and stove top. Very noisy neighbors at 2am and 4 am. I was only there 2 nights. The maintenance guy replaced my microwave and got my phone plugged in but couldn't be done until next day so one of the two nights I was there I didn't have these. Also carpets really dirty.

    The staff was friendly and helpful but I needed help that I shouldn't have needed. Things didn't work on the room. The microwave was broken. The stove was almost impossible to turn on and one burner was broken. More kitchen supplies were needed. The phone was unplugged behind a very heavy dresser. I was there 2 nights and one night I was awoken at 4am by a person blasting the radio while singing and using something to tap with it. That's when I found out the phone was unplugged because I couldn't call the front desk. The next night it happened again at 2am. I called front desk and 30 minutes later it stopped. Room was pretty clean but carpets in room and hall are so dirty they could be replaced. The bathtub needed work too. The staff was extremely friendly so I had no issues with them but the other issues I had to deal with made for a very mediocre stay.

    The carpets are so smelly and dirty. The rooms smell and the stairwell’s smell. Strong odor of animal pee None of the posted amenities are available No breakfast No laundry No gym No pool They only clean on Tuesday and thirty request. So if you arrive Wednesday and leave Tuesday you have a six day stay with no cleaning no new towels nothing. The towels are so small and so thin. No fan in bathrooms so towels stay muggy Very disappointed that the studio six website shows a pool yet it’s been closed for months. Booking has so many listed amenities that are not available. You assume you are paying for use of these amenities but then you get here and there are absolutely none. Pretty dishonest Trash is all over the parking lot. The door keys do not work on any exterior entrance. It seems like the owners are not interested in having a clean reputable hotel. They are letting it turn into a slum.

    Great location. You can walk to the beach close to food and other places. Dog friendly hotel rooms have allot of space and a full fridge

    I was disappointed about the hotel not having a working pool or jacuzzi, especially in the hot summer month when you just want somewhere to relax and cool down.

    The location of the hotel was fun and unique. Lots of local stuff to do around the area.

    I have stayed in this hotel before, and I was disappointed to see what has become of it. During check-in, they gave us a room that stunk, no sheets, and it wasn’t ready. I went back, and the receptionist asked me to look at two rooms and to choose the one I liked the most, and we did. The room was clean, but we didn’t notice that it had no towels, and in the kitchenette, there was only one glass. I had to get the towels, and the following morning, I asked for cups and silverware; plates, pots, and pans were also missing. The hotel hallways stunk, the carpet was dirty, the trash cans were full of garbage, and there was garbage on the hallway floors. In the morning, everything was much better, but we were unfortunate to see what the hotel turned into because we could compare the before and after and we like the hotel. I really hope they get their act together because it’s way far of what the hotel used to be.

    The location, the room is big, nice and comfortable.

    Carpets were not clean. After walking around on it bare foot my feet we’re turning dark from the carpet. Needs deep cleaning. Humidity in the room is bad and damp. I had to go to the front desk twice to reswipe my room key to give me access to my room. This happened on my previous stay as well.

    Staff was not as friendly as my previous visits. When I asked the front desk for pool towels, the young man had his feet up on the counter and talking on his cell phone. He said they didn't have pool towels. I mentioned the lady who was at the desk the day before gave me towels. He said she shouldn't have because they were short on towels. I then mentioned they were pool towels not room towels, which he then said I need to use my room towels. I said again, no the pools towels have a blue stripe. Upset He got up and said hold on, went to the back office and brought me to little hand towels and said that is all they had. Pool area was dirty and only four chairs. This must be a new owner, hopefully they will improve on customer service and cleanliness otherwise they may loose clientele.

    Great location! Clean room and comfortable.

    The couch was dirty and the bathroom door has holes. There was no TP holder, the carpet in the halls was dirty we stayed 3 nights. The kitchenette didn’t have enough supplies to adequately use it. I am glad I bought breakfast items as there wasn’t a breakfast as listed. The pool was dirty and hot tub was empty, horrible flu problem.

    The room was dirty stains on comforters and towels. found a shoe next to the couch, so that shows it wasn't properly cleaned. When I checked in, the staff wouldn't even stand up to greet us or tell us about where our room was or go over anything they just handed me the key. Also the room smelled horrible. And there was a hole in the shower that made us feel uncomfortable so we used a towel to stuff in it.

    Location was good, close to the beach.
