Excellent property. Would definitely stay there again. Perfect for people who do not want the big hotel experience.

It’s a very old motel with few luxuries but it was adequate for our needs. The staff was extremely nice & accommodating. The bed was comfortable. The shower looked newly renovated. There was a full size refrigerator & microwave & toaster. The coffee maker wasn’t very good.

The place flooded Unfortunately they didn't share that, the smell of the room was horrible couldn't breathe so we left after speaking to hotels.com which is handling the situation. I don't care to share pictures as I hope the motel will recover but 200.00 a night plus 25 buck cleaning fee is ridiculous. Sorry but they need to rip out the carpet, cabinets and take care of ants before opening.

Cute, quaint, large and well-equipped space. Complete with kitchenette and a nice size shower and bathroom. It's everything you need, very clean, nice area, close to beaches and restaurants. We really enjoyed it! My only issue is the bed. The mattress was firm and it hurt my hips. I would recommend a memory foam topper that could be removed for those who like firm mattresses and also accommodate people like me who prefer more cushion.

There are a few issues that we found. 1. The bunk safe is not steady. The bed is falling apart. 2. The sofa is not a sofa bed. Therefore our son won't be able to sleep in there. 3. The cigarette smell is overwhelming. We are allergic to cigarette.
