Very cozy, old timey, cozy but modern, all around comfortable hotel... great location and feels like home!
The staff was extremely accommodating and communicated well. Our room had an awesome view, was clean, and looked nice. The only downs were the pool was not exceptionally clean(but could be from storms that week) and the fridge didn’t get super cold. I would definitely stay here again and it was appropriate for the price paid.

Great location. Great rate. Walk to beach, park and playground. Dining options within walking distance. Room was clean and comfortable. The ac was quite noisy as were the folks in rooms nearby. Lots of loud talking outside late into the night.
So only opion was electronic check in. Check was smooth and easy. Rooms clean but dated. Never saw housekeeping. Biggest issue was no security to monitor property and people not staying there loitering in parking lot making a potential safety issue. Would not likely stay there alone

No one gave me the code to my room nor pick up the phone to answer Expedia has to book me another room this hotel is all digital but only endless ringing it's dumb
Never received info for what room we were in or an entry code (they have no front desk). Bathroom sink was clogged and unusable. AC was loud, but worked well. Ample parking. Swimming pool was the dirtiest hotel pool I've ever seen. NO maid service the entire time we were there (NO new towels, NO trash removal). Such a great location yet a miserable overall experience.

Online check in was not so good. The room’s electronic keypad had dead batteries so I had to message check in group and get more instructions on how to enter the room. Once inside room was ok, A/C worked great! The pool at the property was in poor condition and was very dirty when we went to swim. We decided against it and waited for pool cleaning people to clean things up. There was no shade poolside and no umbrellas for tables. There were also broken pool chairs lying around on the pool deck area.
Overall the hotel was great!! Walking distance to the beach, has a pool and convenient to stores and food. I will stay here again but not in the same month. I happened to go while a school was there for spring break and it was loud at times even after hours and they left a mess.

Terrible bed and Flush was not working. Reported to staff on phone and message but no help offered.
Only assistance I got was a message that someone would attend to the issue in the morning, knowing that we are checking out next morning.
Felt bad that they didn't offer other room atleast when complained about flush not working.
I really enjoyed my stay here. Even when we had an issue with the bathtub clogging they were quick to send someone to work on it.
Would stay here again for sure.
The motel was basic with no frills but very clean and suited me perfectly. I traveled with my 2 dogs and our accommodations were very good. The location was perfect - right off the beach with excellent areas to walk my pups. Check in was different than I’ve had at other motels/hotels. It was done via text. No one was actually on the property but instructions were clear and went well. I will definitely return!
