    • The cleanliness of the room was definitely important to us, and this motel does a nice job. the front desk, was a helpful and gracious host! She takes pride in her job and goes over and beyond!! Hard to find that kind of dedication these days
    • Nice location
    • Location, cleanliness and staff.

    Cons -

    • Nothing major. Just minor maintenance issues like the balcony door was hard to keep shut, kept popping open.Problem with the alignment of the handle mechanism.The mini-frig needed a freezer defrost and a door on the freezer compartment to really work well
    • Poor value. Cinder block wall dated motel with very old and squeaky spring mattresses. Disappointing for almost $--- a night
    • I didn’t like the beds and the shower got leaking. The toilet flush was not in a proper condition. There was no wi fi provided, but they listed free wifi . I spent --- dollars per night and it’s not worth of

    Staff at the front desk was exceptionally helpful! We were in town for a music festival and she explained the Park and Ride, restaurants and other places.

    Nothing!

    Pool is nice, decent location

    Mattress was sunken in and difficult to sleep on. This hotel needs updating

    10AnthonyPosted on: 5-22-2022

    I needed a place to spend the night, the room was clean, staff were excellent and for the price was perfect. Thank you

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-25-2021

    The location and staff was nice.

    The reviews said the hotel was clean but it was filthy. We had to find housekeeping because the room phone didn¿t work. It smelled clean when we walked through the door but that bathroom was disgusting. I showered with shower shoes. There was also a leak.

    Hotel overbooked. Went to the room assigned and opened the door to people in the room! Could not get keys to open new room. Finally given an upgraded.room, which should have been the first thing done. Front desk bleamed others for error.

    9DennisPosted on: 10-1-2019

    Clean. Helpful Staff. Location to the beach.

    No working alarm clock.

    The location and the staff

    The lack of continental breakfasts

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-10-2019

    You can’t beat the location! Beach is right across the street! Surrounded by restaurants, shops, mini golf, activities, etc. Clean outdoor pool that stays open until 11pm. Every room has a balcony as long as you’re not on the first floor.

    This is an older motel so keep that in mind. Rooms smell kind of musty, and aren’t as clean as they could be. In need of a good deep cleaning. Upon arrival, both bedspreads had stains all over them, but were promptly changed out when I said something.

    1StephaniePosted on: 7-31-2018

    Was supposed to have room with balcony. Had one available but wouldn''t give it to us

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-12-2018

    It was clean and close to the beach.

    Rug was wet by door from rains. Couldn't see the ocean.
