Decent place to stay. Not fancy and rooms could use updates.walls are very thin so we listened to screaming kidsnext door .I would opt for the upper floor, better view and no noise above you. Like the beach being so close

Nice ocean front view

My wife and I decided to do the beach for our anniversary. She found the hotel and thought it was cute, and it offered what we needed. an ocean front view with private balcony, kitchenette and easy access to the beach for morning walks. We were so excited and couldn't wait to arrive. Prior to arriving they offered online check-in, which was a breeze. Upon arrival they knew us by name, offered us the key (a real key, not a key card) and other vital info and we were on our way. Warning: pack light! There is no elevator and going up & down three flights of steps was no fun. Interior of the room was nicely decorated, however they need to make some repairs to the flooring, the baseboards & trimming, and offer firmer pillows. The bathroom needed a little help, especially the shower pressure and the bathroom door wouldn't close, but it was clean. We loved the kitchenette and our view from the balcony. If they shutdown for maybe three weeks and made a few updates this hotel would be great. It's within walking distance of a couple of restaurants, bait shops, parks and a pier that offers fishing. Two pools and a beachfront...what more could you ask for? Vending machines! Where were they? we actually cut our stay a day short due to an emergency, and understandably was unable to be refunded. Overall it was a nice time, but I don't know that I would choose this hotel again. Just wish it was more polished and had an elevator.

Great stay! The only complaint is that you can’t get early check in due to it being a smaller motel and if you want to check out before 11am you have to wait till at least 9am because that’s when the staff gets there. Other than that we loved the location for beach access and couldn’t beat the price for a quick summer beach trip.

It was a nice stay except for the fact that we had a dog with us and they put us on the 3rd floor all the way in the corner, and the room was old and needed updating. There was also a lot of people smoking by the pool so they don’t enforce their no smoking policy.

Hair in the shower and refrigerator along with old food.used towels behind the bathroom door.bugs, only one window air conditioner worked, we had a 2 bedroom and that units hot air dumped into a hall stairway so that part was 100 plus degrees, sure it's a code violation. Funny thing was there was another window it could have been it and would probably work they did clean next day, but only half was done . We will never stay there again.not sure how it's a high rating, also pictures are not same as the room, they didn't look anything like my room! Don't leave valuables in your room, I could easily push the door open, my truck was safer. That's crazy.

Didn’t like climbing 3 flights of stairs with luggage but the view of the ocean was spectacular, so it was honestly worth it. Loved the service where we put out linens and trash outside our door and it was picked up and fresh linens were left in their place. Loved the comfy pillows on the bed. They were so fluffy. Didn’t like the dark stairways. Couldn’t even see how to put the key in the door to unlock it. Needs working lights. Staff was super friendly. Overall, we would stay there again…good experience.
