My only issue was the number of texts i got the day we left for our trip. It asked me to sign saying i read the rules of the motel. It also said we could not park until 4pm the day we arrived. These are things that should be disclosed and requested way before i leave for my trip. I found it very inconvenient to not be able to park until 4pm that day. The texts also said you had to pay a pet fee. none of that was disclosed on the hotels.com.website. luckily my dad was able to keep our dogs at his house.

No contact check in if that’s what you like. But great communication over text message. Room small, but clean and had cool vintage fridge. Big TV. Did see a few small cockroaches in bathroom but none otherwise. Bed was very soft and comfortable. Walking distance to many restaurants and bars. Board-walk a few steps away. Dog friendly.

great location, but a few concerns.

We were in room #1. Love the location, but parking was really tight. Unfortunately, there was no way to adjust the direction of the air flow from the the split A/C unit, so the air blew directly on our heads. The tenants above us made a lot of noise and often sounded like they were moving furniture. I wish we had brought a fan to drown out the noise.

it was okay but…

We arrived a little early and decided to go ahead and park in our spot while we waited for our room to be ready. We were in spot 12 and were confused with how to fit because to the left was parking but horizontally, while we were supposed to park vertically, so we ended up parking at an angle because there was little to no space for us to even fit going vertically. Then another guest arrived and was confused on how to park next to us because we had to park at an angle, so he goes to get the lady who was working i believe her name is Julie, comes to our window and knocks on it and first goes “HOLA…. HELLO?”in a rude tone and first of all, i find that to be a little racist because although my friend looks hispanic, she is not. Then she asks us to move our car, we explain to her we don’t know how to because we can’t park the car straight because the other car right next to us, that is parked horizontally, does NOT allow us to park straight because it is too far out. So we fix our parking and she continues to say it’s wrong, so we ask how we should park and she responds “umm i don’t know maybe park better?” and we were all shocked with how we were being treated as guests. we eventually fixed the parking but the whole time she was just throwing a fit and yelling and being rude, i guess she was having a rough time but still, to start our trip off like that was not good. She eventually apologized but i only feel like she did that to save herself. Also the pull out couch had mold.

Unacceptable we won’t be back!

Room was very tight could barely walk around the bed,microwave and coffee maker wasn’t plugged up. Had to sit them in the floor next to an outlet to be able to use. Shower curtain was too short so if you tried to take a shower, the water came out on the floor of the bathroom, we were scared it might mess up the floor and we be charged for the damage, it was so small you couldn’t turn around Inside of it so we didn’t use Had to wash up out of the sink !Was not the room I saw looking at the pictures Just a very, very small room.
