Completely ruined the mood of the trip from the very start. NEVER AGAIN! Pictures do not match!

No part of it did I like. They tried to make me pay again for the room at check-in and after arguing with them that I had already paid which I saw this on their monitor I proved it to them with my confirmation email then they insisted that I pay a $50.00 deposit which I greatly refused. The next morning could not get out of the complex due to closed gates and nobody on duty at the front desk. After getting the gate open I dropped my keys at the key drop box and will never again set foot on that location. Completely ruined the mood of the trip from the very start. Never again!

The room was very nice and clean. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The pillows were big and fluffy. The people that run it are friendly and welcoming. They have a restaurant here and the food is delicious. I had breakfast and dinner and both were very good. I will definitely be back.

This was a last minute trip and the location was mildly busy, but convenient .

The staff was friendly and I liked the location. It was near a convenience store, not far from the beach & breakfast was filling.

I purchased a room for 3 people, and at check in I was given 2 breakfast vouchers & told that only 2 of us could have free breakfast and the third had to pay. I strongly didn't agree with this. Also I would recommend bringing some bug repellent if you're going to sit outside the room, because mosquitoes are very plentiful.

I loved the fact I could take my dog with me Paid a little extra.. But, to me it was worth being able to take her, She is my service dog.. The staff was very friendly, very nice and explained everything about the breakfast even though I never asked questions... It was good to know and breakfast was very good.. I felt safe and slept very well .

I know they are trying their best to work on this place, They just took over a few years ago.. It was very clean and the only thing I missed was a coffee pot in the room 😁 But, they do serve coffee in the office area.. There was a very small problem with bugs.. So, I gave them some advice on how to improve that 👍👏 I would stay there again, I felt safe and they all are very nice, I even felt safe ..

Breakfast was so under par

We were visiting family nearby. The motel was conveniently located to where they were staying.

The breakfast was good and the rooms were clean.

The outside appearance could use some updating, but that didn't take away from the overall experience.

our stay was short we might would stay again

the location was fairly close to the beach

you couldn’t go outside without being devoured by mosquitoes. they actually were swarming everywhere. the breakfast was good but the room only had two tables in it and they wouldn’t let you take your food to your room.

1st Family trip in many years

It was a short drive to the coast and not very far of a drive to the nearest town for necessities. We had a small issue with my vehicle and the owner was very considerate to help with jumper cables. Thank you very much for that. I liked that there was a restaurant that we could order from and delivered to our room I loved that I could bring my dog, she's a 10yr old doxie and I wasn't taking the trip without her, this was perfect. She enjoyed herself as well Thx for having us and your great hospitality

I don't think there was anything that I didn't like except maybe that the pool was not open to swim in much for some reason The knob to switch on/off the bedside lamp was broken and was very hard to switch on and off

The owners were very nice and helpful. We weren't familiar with the area and told us of some places to check out. They have a restaurant on site and it has a great breakfast. Best breakfast I have had at a restaurant in a long time.

I wish they had a coffee maker in the room.
