I stayed at Pavilions Motel for one night, which gave me both pros and cons to reflect on. The location near the beach was a definite plus, making it easy for coastal activities. although the room itself felt quite run-down and not particularly clean. I noticed some issues with amenities like the TV only having one channel and the Wi-Fi being spotty. Overall, this place is okay if you're on a tight budget and can deal with the minimal quality.

My stay was mixed; the location near the beach was fantastic, but the state of the room left much to be desired. I found cleanliness to be an issue, with dirty sheets and even bugs, which is unacceptable. While the staff were friendly, the overall atmosphere felt chaotic and uncomfortable at times. Given the low price, it might suit budget travelers, but I wouldn't recommend it without caution.

The room was filthy, with stained sheets and crickets crawling everywhere, which made it feel like a scene from a horror movie. I expected a basic setup, but this was just too much.

The staff were chatty and friendly, but there were moments that felt chaotic, especially with the disruptive long-term residents. I guess it added a unique character, but not in the best way.

The motel's location was definitely a highlight, nestled in a nice neighborhood and close to Ocean Park Blvd with various eateries nearby, making it easy to explore the area. But safety concerns did linger.

Facilities were basic, with no daily cleaning and a noticeable need for maintenance. The Wi-Fi was decent enough for light use, and there was laundry available, but overall it felt very stripped down.
