Very welcoming to pets. Had a partial view of the ocean. Everything was ok until I was ate up by bedbugs. I was only given 5 dollars to wash all of our stuff and only refunded half of my money back when we left to purchase a different hotel after washing absolutely EVERYTHING. Lost 2 days of vacay because of this!

Didnt use the pools we went for the beach view & from our room all we seen was beach for miles, For a budget friendly vacation you couldnt ask for anything any better. I loved the staff they were very helpful and friendly. Made sure we had everything we needed! The building hasnt been updated but thats why its so budget friendly so as far as im concerned they dont need to update a thing i love it the way it is. The pools were accessible they have 2 diffrent ones i seen both outdoors but who would want to swim in them when the beach is so close. I cant say enough good things this place is amazing plan your trip there its worth it you get your deposit back.

The partial ocean view was still a nice view. My main concern is how I was charged cause I knew that i would habe extra fee amd that was fine. Except I paid to have extended 2 nights and I paid through hotels. com i just need someone to help me understand if I paid twice for those two nights. That was whete I was confused. Otherwise everything has been great! Got to enjoy the horses on the beach too.

Find somewhere else. This hotel has a massive roach (not palmetto bugs) infestation, its disgustingly unclean and has a drug problem involving needles on the property. The "oceanview" balcany includes the sight and smell of dog feces.

When we arrived, they told us the pool was closed for the day. Did not give a reason. They had a leak somewhere, which is understandable so we had no water for the first two hours. The room was missing a drawer in the kitchen, stunk like marijuana and the bathtub was literally peeling although it was very last minute due to a plane delay, and I only paid $100. It was definitely a place. I would never stay again.

The room was horrible. No heat, no cold water in shower, bathroom sink was stopped up. They moved us to another room that the heat didn’t work in as well. They also did not give me the ocean front room I paid for. I will never stay again. They also owe me a refund because I paid for one thing and got the cheapest one.

The rooms were very clean, they are under new management and they are replacing the carpet with hardwood floors, the hot water was a little slow getting up to our room..but once it did I could take a long hot shower...I loved it. I'm very excited about the changes coming up in the near future. Ive been coming to the Oceanfront Viking Motel for decades and this was one of my best stays. I would encourage everyone to give them another chance before they make a final decision on the establishment.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would like to formally express my concerns regarding my recent stay. The condition of the motel was unsatisfactory, as the room was not properly cleaned upon arrival, requiring me to clean it myself. Additionally, I experienced a significant inconvenience when I was locked out of my room due to a malfunctioning deadbolt and the bed sheet got stuck, which ultimately had to be forcibly removed by staff. The toilet in the room repeatedly clogged, further impacting the quality of my stay. There were also issues with other guests smoking in the vicinity, which created an uncomfortable environment, and the elevator appeared to be unreliable and not functioning properly. I chose this motel specifically because it advertised itself as pet-friendly, as my usual resort does not accommodate pets unless they are service animals. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet reasonable expectations for cleanliness, safety, or comfort. Given these circumstances, I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and that appropriate consideration be given.

The hotel is very run down, but, one of the few that is pet friendly. We just wanted a quick beach getaway.. upon entering the bathroom, there was a huge dead cockroach and what looked like mouse turds… I cleaned that up…. The gal at the front desk was awesome.. did not get her name.. but the whole place smelled like pot… Would I stay there again, only in an emergency.
