The accommodations were exactly what we expected and wanted. With the exception of a large Roach that came out on my second day, that I had to kill. The stay was perfect. We were on a fishing excursion and it was the right place at the right time for the right price. Really appreciated the stay, and would consider staying again under the same circumstances.

I was hesitant to book my stay because of bad reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed my stay. Great price for an ocean view property. The beach was great, the coffee in the lobby was tasty. Bed and shower were great. Would stay again.

This was a super cheap room on a beautiful beach, close by restaurants. For a one night stay great! I was nervous about leaving my suitcases in the car so brought them in. It's a little seedy, but it's a cheap room. That's what you get. All and All, I would stay here again. Your just a few steps from the beach!

We have mow stayed here several times this summer. The rooms are clean, and many have been renovated. We were able to have three adjacent rooms without issue. Any issues are IMMEDIATELY addressed and resolved! (they always have to help me with the TV remote! lol) The beach is our favorite part because you literally walk from the parking lot ONTO a clean, uncrowded beach. We will continue to return here!!

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.
