Just steps away from the beach. Even my elderly mother with hip issues was able to get out on the beach. Room was nice. Having a kitchen is such a plus. Indoor pool was awesome, but the outdoor pool didn’t even look like it was being attempted to get open. It was memorial weekend… would’ve been the cherry on top if we had that access.

This is an older hotel, situated in the dunes on the beach. Rooms are spacious but dated, as would be expected. View is nice, pool is inoperable.

We just got back from a two night stay and we loved the beach front access. The rooms were clean, the beds were very comfy and the bathroom was updated nicely. What needed updating was the kitchenette (stove was GROSS so we just didn’t use it), the cabinets were dark & dingy looking and the balcony was hard to sit on to enjoy because the AC unit drain line was dripping and out take was loud. The beach view from our second floor window & balcony was Very Nice, again too bad it was too loud to sit and enjoy. The motel on the outside needed better maintaining overall. This place was good for a two night stay but not longer. Again to bad because the beach access & view from the middle rooms was very nice.

It was clean. Centrally located. Pools were closed. Interior was clean but exterior balcony had lots of bird poop on railings. Just not sanitary. A very 1960s/1970s feel.

Perfect stay..lovely people and place. As soon as I arrived, I saw dolphins, beach bunnies, and a ton of birds. Hotel was extreme topnotch oceanfront. My favorite part was that this hotel is run efficiently with in a minimalist way that does not add to the heavy consumption and waste going on all around. Beautiful very quiet peaceful place and I hope to again and again.

The view of the beach and ocean were amazing from the balcony, we were on the third floor. Room was extremely dated. No water pressure, bathroom and floor was dirty on arrival, had to sweep it our first day. Bathroom door would not shut and just a mid grade stay. 4 day stay and only minimal bathroom supplies. Motel is in a good location close to restaurants, piers, and shops.
