Maybe I missed something on the agreement. We helped by putting out the trash and towels. The rock shower floor was great too see but to step on during showering sometimes was difficult. and maybe having a clear time of the office hours could help. Other than that great location and surroundings. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e1fb264-3305-402e-bb2c-eadc59dfb096-1766334685257.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sepuloni Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaimon Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, clean & easy to get to beach ##### Jaimon Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cd Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was clean and the staff was very helpful. ##### cd Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steph Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a great place to stay in a convenient location.

For the price this place is awesome. Only complaint is the SMELL. Stayed here twice, the first time it was just the bathroom that had a bad sewage smell, the second time it was the whole room. Had to keep window open and still didn’t help much. Not sure if it’s the pipes or what but bad enough that we probably won’t stay here again unless it’s a last option which sucks because it’s a nice spot in great location. ##### Alaina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### mai Sep 1, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service #### Bay Front Inn I like the location.
