Ok. Good and Bad.

People talking kind of loud in the hallway at 2 am, not really the motels fault. Good inch of light under the (hollow?) door. Heater dirty like dryer lint (most hotels have this problem). Everyone I interacted with at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The view of the water and the breeze from the water is really great! Make sure you get a room facing the water not the street. A bit expensive for what you get but right now what isn’t expensive for what you get? Bit of a mixed bag. Good enough if you are easy going and flexible, not good enough if you are picky/ particular.

Disliked: Cleanliness
After making the payment online, we get to the hotel and they told us that there’s no room for us, also that 3 people can be in the same room 😩 we asked the attendant what’s is the meaning of two bed in one room because that is what we booked for, so I and my family can’t be in a room? We end up booking another hotel. The management is very poor. My question is , how do I get my refund because we didn’t sleep in that hotel? Thanks

The front desk staff was wonderful, friendly and efficient. The property itself was scary, you could hear every sound of people knocking on the doors of other rooms, the keys turning in the locks, the door to the room was flimsy with a tiny lock, you didn’t feel safe; and even though it was a non smoking room, all you smelled was smoke from the other rooms. It was like the Bates motel

Room was "no smoking" yet it stunk so badly i had to leave the windows wide open on a first floor room. The "smoke detector" was just the mounting bracket on the wall, no smoke detector! Bugs in the toilet, hairs in the bed, bubblegum jammed into the broken ceiling tiles over shower. Nasty, nasty place.

The only good thing about this motel is that it is near a really good Italian sandwich place across the street and it is also close to a good Spanish restaurant 3 blocks away. Besides that, I will not stay at this motel again.
