Would stay again!

We really enjoyed the stay. It was not our intended place but we stayed for the first time due to few vacancies around town and we are very happy. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.

It was a great little place to stay! I went with my family and we stayed in a room that had 3 beds, 2 in the main room plus one in the bedroom. The room was clean, included microwave, fridge, as well as built in pumps with soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Staff was also very nice. It was a short walk to the beach. Would definitely stay there again.

This property is kept very clean. The beds are comfortable, the linens are soft. The owners are welcoming. I love that it is dog friendly. The only bummer was the sitting area they had set up directly outside our room where other guests hung out late into the evening. Next time we stay, I will request a different room.

Management personal are constantly watching what you’re doing. It’s a no smoking property yet management smoking outside and the smoke was going right into our room. My room was for up to 6 people, which we had 6 people yet charged an extra $100 for an extra person. Only given 4 towels for 6 people and 1 small garage can in the bathroom. It is close enough to walk to shops, pier and beach.

It’s fine; nothing special

Beware; this is a very old Motel. It has been upgraded very nicely; however, the walls are paper thin. So thin in fact, that my wife heard the man next door fart at 6 am! Additionally, the TV in our room did not work. Overall, not horrible, and not great. It’s fine; nothing special.

Weekend getaway

It was nice. We have stayed here before and did not have any problems so decided to book again. The only thing I can suggest is replacing your towels. They were clean but no longer look white. We did not use them, instead we bought some beach towels and used them.

I really don’t leave any negative reviews because all I have to do is never go back again but maybe this review will make them keep up the place clean. I paid $238 total for one night and when I checked into the room it was so dusty (top of microwave , night stand and night lamp filled with layers of dust, back of hair dryer ) I’m just glad it was just my husband and I. If I had my kids I would’ve definitely left . And most nasty thing was that towels we so old that it was not even white (nasty yellow with stains) I asked for new fresh towels and all them were same condition.

As basic as it gets, but we were pleasantly surprised. We stayed three nights in a family suite, which was a main room with one bed, and a bedroom with two more beds. The beds and bathroom were very clean. The shower looked recently renovated and had AMAZING water pressure, which is often lacking in hotels. The shower was heaven. The property was very quiet and the staff was friendly. The owners are skimping on linens. They gave us four towels for five people for three nights, and those towels were threadbare and in desperate need of replacement. I wouldn't even keep these as garbage towels in my garage. There were only two small pillows on each queen bed, and they didn't offer much support. Honestly I liked the property enough that I would probably stay here again, but would be sure to bring my own towels and pillows.

Not as Advertised

The place was cute when we arrived. Staff greeted us with a smile, gave us our room keys, and the wifi password. When we entered our “Family Suite”, it was a single room and bathroom. We traveled with a 3 and 1 yo so during their naptime, we had to sit quietly in the dark. The whole point of booking an actual suite was to have the kids in one room and we could watch TV or have a conversation in another room. The room was advertised to be 1,000 sq ft. I have lived in 1k sq ft and this doesn’t come close. There’s very little room for small kids and there’s metal/iron furniture so my 1 yo has a large bruise on her face after she fell face first into one of the iron chair legs. The floors were so dirty as well. The staff either don’t clean or they just move the dirt around. Our feet and socks became brown/black with dirt after 10 minutes of walking around. The place wasn’t completely horrible. It was quiet and the linens seemed clean. For what we paid, we could’ve rented a small house and gotten so much more. What irks me the most was the lying from hotels.com and this hotel. Don’t falsely advertise a place to people. When I brought it up with the staff, they said I should have brought it up to them when we arrived, but they should have put us in the correct room from the start. Plus, how do I know they aren’t going to retaliate? I don’t know them and I don’t trust people especially when they are willing to lie.
