Location was great & we were appreciative of the early check in.
Parking is horrible, Wi-Fi never worked, keyless entry was tricky, pool was small and locked up early, outside pool shower did not work, air conditioner was very loud & turned off a lot, paper thin walls, stained window curtain and shower curtain, outside had a lot of flies, and the shower water took forever to heat up

The motel has comfy beds and updated rooms. It is in a good location location with easy public beach access. We appreciated its pet friendliness.
A/C constantly cuts off after running for 10 minutes, you have to keep restarting. Vehicle parking right outside the door is very convenient but also very loud when other people come in late and are slamming doors or tailgates. It can’t be avoided, just something to keep in mind.

Very cozy. Easy access to the beach and restaurants. Liked the keyless entry
Ice machine was broken and did not have laundry facilities. Not a deal breaker but would be nice to have the ability to do laundry. Was still overall a nice stay.

The location to the beach was amazing. Kids loved the pool and the rooms were very nice and clean.

How it was decorated and how clean it was. The size of the room was also great!
The shower dripped constantly and could hear our neighbors. We are used to having a breakfast come with the stay.

Getting bed bugs and no hot water. I left the next morning to go and find another room
8.0
Great location, clean, Jessy at the front desk was very helpful as was Mike from from housekeeping. It was so quiet regarding being insulated from adjacent rooms and the main road.
Our family needed more space but we knew we were staying at a motel for one night so its size was doable for one night. The window a/c unit was a little loud. This isn’t a luxury hotel which is why I rated it an 8 overall, but it is very clean, comfortable, updated and safe.
