As a small hotel, they did a good job trying to remodel. Hopefully they will add a wardrobe or something to hang your clothes, jackets, etc in the room. It would have also been nice to have a hook on the bathroom door or a place to hang bathing suit or whatever to dry. Otherwise it was a decent stay. I'd stay again for that price.

The room was dirty. Lots of bugs. Got surprised by a large spider on the shower. The bed is too soft. No blanket so you’ll have to bring one. The staff was very nice though.

It was a good location. I did see a baby german roach in my room alive. Behind the night stand was ashes from smoking. My white socks turned really dirty just walking on the floor. For almost 150.00 a night i would excpect better. Staff was nice, parking decent but it does get full. Well lit at night and has cameras.

It's on the beach, spacious, and convenient. But there are tiny roaches, I think maybe because some guests keep their doors open for hours.

The beds are extremely comfortable. The room was clean. The shower was okay. Not much water pressure. The front door to the lobby being locked was a little alarming. You have to be buzzed in. Cleaning staff extremely friendly. The partial beach view from hotel is nice, but it didn’t really matter because curtains are closed for privacy from others walking and running by. It was nice having a kitchen. The full size refrigerator was a plus. They don’t provide anything for the kitchen. If you plan on really using the kitchen you need to bring everything with you. They don’t supply anything. The beach is nice, water is great for kids to play in. Flies were bad. Take some bug spray just in case. Over all pleasant stay.

The room was very clean with operational laundry and ice facilities steps from the room. There was great water pressure (and an actual bathtub!), a tidy kitchenette, comfortable beds and an amazing view. Some of the other guests were loud and disruptive, but no complaints about the hotel itself. Located right on the beach, only a short distance from a shopping center (Harris Teeter) and multiple fast food and convenience stores. Our stay was delightful- couldn't be happier. Thank you!

Perfect for location. Right next to beach. Very loud and kinda sketchy ppl hang around. Maintenance ppl just opened room on two different occasion’s and so felt privacy violated but other than that it’s a basic hotel to sleep for the night. Not too bad for the price.
