We wanted a non smoking room but it was pretty obvious people had smoked before us with yellow stained walls and a cigarette burn in the blankets. Plumbing barely worked and the mattress felt like it had been in the room since the 60’s. The sink barely produced water and the toilet was clogged as well. It looks like this hotel mainly gets its business from the bar across the street.

No fills but clean and convenient!

The hotel is in an excellent area. Very close to everything. CVS is a parking lot over. There is a really good breakfast restaurant next door. There is a beach around the corner with many activities. We stayed 4th of July weekend. There was a parade in front of the hotel. There is a grocery across the street. It is close to many other beaches as well. The hotel room was very spacious and clean. We are a family of 5 with 2 small dogs and there was lots of room for us all. The staff was attentive, very helpful and pleasant. It is a no frills hotel so don’t expect room service or breakfast but there is a mini fridge and microwave with lots of space if you like making your meals in the room. The water pressure was good and the ac and heat worked well. The beds were not very comfortable and I don’t care for the sheets but I am very picky so I usually bring my own to cover what there since it a 2 star. The outside is a little grimy and run down could probably do with a paint refresh but it was clean non the less. If you are traveling with kids or friends and ok with out frills then it’s a great place to stay!

Old and small bathroom and shower, almost impossible to share. Room itself is ok but lots of issues like no privacy blinds or curtains, only the blackout thick one. Not enough lights. TV and internet were fine. Location is the only good thing. It is a 1 star motel. No ice machine, no pool, they have a fence thwt blocks easy way to the nearest beach.

Needs renovation badly

This place needs a full renovation, the mattress is uneven and hangs off the side, the fridge still had someone’s food in it, the light was flickering, anything that’s broken just gets taped up here. The front desk guy showed up at my room saying he needs to go inside check my ac even though I didn’t call him and the ac is working fine. I would say the only one good thing is the proximity to the beach. I would come back if this place got fixed up and renovated and not such a dump.
