The room was outdated…. however, if I was traveling with my family &/or wanted to be super close to the beach I would definitely recommend this hotel for the price point!

I was told we would get a kings size and queen size bed but only got 2 full size bed. They lie and it seemed for shady people staying there. It was dirty.

Not bad for the price. Older motel. 2 bedroom is divided by a shower curtain so not much privacy. Close to beach and Publix.
