Comfort Stay

Rooms are update and clean. Very comfortable bed, I like the convenience of parking in front of your room. Very friendly front desk lady. The only thing I didn't like was a $125 hold on your bank acct. that was like a week. A day or two would have been fine, but really a week!
Cheryl, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The stay was decent for the price we paid. Less than 500 for 4 night. The bed was lumpy and hurt mine and my wife’s back. We didn’t get any cleaning service until I asked for but was marked cleaned everyday. Ac quit working last night we were there and basically soaked everything in the room. But regardless of all this I’ve stayed at worse. There were clean sheets and fresh towels daily.

Def will be back. The owner made our 2 year wedding anniversary one to remember! The place was clean and the hospitality was amazing! The young kid who was cleaning was very nice and he had great conversation. Love this place.

It was nice and clean outside too. But our bathroom door didn't lock and didn't close properly. Needed to place towel to secure door closed tightly shut.

Great Value

Great value, such a nice palce for the price, the owner is hands on and very welcoming.
Fernando, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I thought the room was roomy and comfortable. Best hotel air conditioner ever by far! Was great that the owner lived on site and the hotel had such a warm family feel. Would have preferred more water pressure and a plug on both sides of the bed.
Julie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Was ok but not worth the cost paid

Bed was not comfortable at all and broken. The pillows were cheap as expected for a motel. The Internet was horrible. Had to turn it off to accomplish simple things on phones
Krystal, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property to stay at. The beach is a 4 minute drive, Mexican restaurant and shaved ice shop right next to the property and shopping district in walking distance with golf cart rental businesses all around.
Ferdinand, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for just a quick stay. Pool was good but the room itself was outdated. Bathroom was bad in that the door knob was very loose and showerhead very old.
stephanie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was okay

While it was going good , we were disappointed about a few things . Uncomfortable bedding and there were water roaches coming up our drain , mind you we paid well over 600 for the “deluxe” room , floors felt sandy and the cleanliness just wasn’t there . There was dirt everywhere under the bed . We didn’t bring it to their attention because they were super sweet ! But it is unfortunate that we paid so much just for the deluxe room to Feel dirty & with water bugs
Analisa, 3-night trip

It was a good place to stay while on a fishing trip. No place to charge trolling motor batteries.
