Frank, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

You get what you pay for I guess. Much cheaper than other hotels in the area. Some exterior photos were of other buildings closer to the beach. Minimal amenities. Good things were: very close to the beach, grocery store and restaurants.

Lovely vintage motel by the beach within walking distance to different dining options. Motel was clean, staff kind & courteous. Loved the fluffy pillows and soft bedding. Pleased with our stay. Would definitely come back.

Right by the beach, which was great. Wish the bars around it were open later lol
Steven, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

An expensive disappointment.

This property had no one at desk to assist with their client needs. Rooms were poorly maintained especially showers. I requested bottom floor due to disabled adults and hotel unable to accommodate. No daily check from housekeeping for any needs.parking was sparse if you went out and returned after 2pm. There free breakfast was a joke!..positive it was by the beach.

2/10 Poor

The room smelled like cigarettes the shower didn’t work and extremely dirty. The beds smelled like they were old
James, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

For $184 a night, I expected better. There was trash in the parking lot and there seem to be people that are actually living here. Hanging out smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee in the morning and in the evenings. We wanted to open our window because it was stuffy, but there were no screens and people were right outside the window talking. The hotel staff were nice, and the beds were decent. For the price, I would go a bit more inland and probably get a better stay and value for my money.
Dale, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

2.5 hours after check in, front desk staff knocked on my door to advise there was a mistake. Then wanted to charge me for my service animal an extra $100 after we discussed it upon check in.
Lisa, 1-night trip

Next to beach but needs work

I purchased a room with a jacuzzi but got a room with a spa bath. The shower head didn’t work and the knob to turn cold to warm was very hard to turn, I struggled with it. Pictures online do not look like what was booked. Room was about 500 feet from the beach which was great! No room service, no bath essentials. Just a room that hasn’t been updated at all.
