In process of remodeling and we had one of the rooms that were partially done; it will be lovely when completed. The room was very clean and staff very friendly. Look forward to perhaps staying here again once remodeling is completed.

It is quite apparent the property is under renovation. It was a comfortable stay but, for pet friendly suites with very slippery floors an area rug would be appreciated..or at least something for the “pet fee”

Lots of loud partying outside on the balconies with zero staff doing anything about it. Also, the room was in poor repair. Definitely over priced at $200/night

The property was under construction, which I wasn't made aware of when I booked. I wasn't offered any discount due to the construction & noise. Other than that, everyone was really nice and I had a good time.

This motel is going through renovations to refresh it at the moment but was still a wonderful stay. Because of this refresh, I am not commenting on areas that are a little tired and those areas did not affect our stay. We stayed in an ocean front King room right above the restaurant atrium. The view of the beach and listening to the waves at night was so calming. The room was clean and quiet. The bathroom was beautifully renovated with stunning black fixtures including a rain shower head and shower wand, high end toilet and wonderful deep soaker bathtub. While I do wish the lighting in the bathroom was brighter, some brighter bulbs could probably fix that and honestly, it was so clean. I loved the under lighting on the mirror that provided just enough light for nighttime bathroom visits. The ladies at reception were absolute gems and gave us some fantastic restaurant recommendations. I would not hesitate to recommend this motel and it will be our go to on future trips.
