This was a last minute decision to find somewhere to stay overnight. Price was good, on the beach, VERY clean. We’d stay here again. We liked the bar across the street. They had live music and it didn’t bother us when we went to bed. The pool/pool area could use some help. Overall 👍

Disappointed

It was great to be so close to the beach and the de or of the room was great. There was a strong odor of a chemical cleaner that made it difficult to breathe and, thus, relax. There was a trash bag and smelly mop just outside our door. I reported it when I arrived and was told they’d take care of it. It was still sitting there when we checked out. Smoking was allowed on the porch so each time we came and left we had to pass through a smoke field. The shower curtain was moldy, there were dead insects in the bathroom light and the bed spread was either stained or dirty. Not worth the price.

Nice location, clean,but when I called the staff for an issue I was having she told me flat out she didn't want to be bothered. I handled the problem myself. She should not be on call to help customers, especially telling them that she didn't want to be bothered. What is she getting paid for? Other than her I thought it was a great stay.

My main concern was the cleanliness of the pool; unless they use odorless chlorine, this pool had no chlorine at all, I felt as if taking a plain water bath in a bath tub. This was a turn off! Another bather shared my concern while at pool with me.

Motel room is okay, big enough for a couple, good mattress. Shower is so tiny, if that doesn’t bother you, good, A/C unit is LOUD but some people like that, music outside is also loud, but that’s just part of its location, what can you do? Now the door to the beach, holy moly it was so difficult to get open with the pin, I saw MULTIPLE people struggling including myself. I have a short temper, that door pissed me off, my front door also had issues with the pin. If you don’t mind struggling/noise it’s a “cheap” stay. If you read this and make a face, don’t stay here.

The room was clean and everything was done by text. They do not have an office where you can speak to someone but they said they were available via phone. Parking was good and the pool was nice. Great super close beach access. The shower was really small, anyone over weight pregnant or claustrophobic would not enjoy the shower.

Amazing location with easy beach access and boardwalk. Great virtual fronk desk. Communication was great! Room was cute and clean. Perfect for the 2 of us. Shower faucet was loose, air conditioner loud but worked great, and walls were thin. But overall perfect for our wknd getaway and would 100% book again!
