Motel room was updated with new wood floors furniture and linens. Very clean. The 78.00 was perfect since we just needed to sleep and leave early.

The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.

As outdated as this place is, you might be concerned, but the sheets were amazingly clean and fresh and the rooms were decent for the price.

This is a small, family-run property. They are doing a lot of work to update it. It was perfect for our overnight stay as a family!

Parking is convenient and the building is clean inside and outside. The rooms are comfy and clean and free of smoke smell. The linens smell clean and fresh. The bathrooms are clean and all the white surfaces are white and towels are neatly folded.

The gentleman at the front counter was incredibly accommodating and kind. Although the building appears old and outdated, it was actually quite clean. This isn’t someplace I would take my family on vacation, but for old fisherman that just needs a few hours of sleep in between sets it was perfect and priced right!

Very nice, helpful staff. The room was actually kind of large and perfect for our little family. There was a king bed and a full size bed. Everything was very clean. The sheets smelled very clean. The hotel probably needs some updating but it is a roadside motel and was well worth it for the price, service, and cleanliness. It’s also near a beautiful beach and Marina, so I do recommend it.

My view was a fence outside my window. The place was supposed to be in a remodel and was Very Aged. I got what I payed for and won’t stay there again.

The hotel smelled liked bad Curry and the room we stayed in was a horrible cigarette smell to the point where my fiancé and I couldn’t breath. But what can you truly ask for $160 for 2 nights. Overall the trip was fun but would have enjoyed it more if we staid at a different place.

Property has changed ownership and new owners were busy making upgrades. Still some work to be done, but think it should be 5-star in a little while.

We were a little skeptical when we first arrived, but it was decent inside. The motel had a clean smell throughout and the staff greeted us right away. This was the first hotel that we have stayed where we received an actual key, versus a key card, but it seems they are in the middle of some renovations. The room was clean and spacious, included a fridge, microwave, 32" TV, and free Wi-Fi. As long as your not expecting a 5 star hotel for $70 a night, you should be perfectly happy with your stay at this motel. Especially being 20 minutes from Six Flags!
