The location is wonderful. Free min-golf is always a bonus when staying at the hotel. Walking distance to beach access as well. It felt as tho this hotel might be in the process of renovating …starting on the exterior first. 4/5

4/10

Positive: The staff are wonderful and very nice! The location is good right on Island Hwy with free parking and includes a free round of mini golf across the street. Negative: The motel needs a COMPLETE AND FULL renovation! The room and bathroom are old, moldy, smell of cigarette smoke, holes in cupboards, cracks in doors, no door seal, door lock mechanism is flimsy, curtains are stained, ripped and hang broken off the rod. The bathroom tub seal has mold underneath and the shower head height is for someone under 5'2. The work done on the exterior of the building gives one the illusion of how nice the inside rooms are, don't be decived. This motel was operating as a temporary supportive housing facility for individuals experiencing addiction and homelessness, and has not been adequatley restored from poor condition to a fresh, modern standard place. The metaphor for this motel is "lipstick on a pig".
