Online photos deceptive

The pictures are incredibly deceptive. We thought this was going to be a cute retro motel with recent updates. We arrived and there was debris and trash in the front. Tried to give it a chance and still checked in. Clearly out dated and run down. Got to the room and the walls were dirty, everything felt unclean. There was a couple fighting next door. We decided we could not stay there as it felt unsafe. We told the clerk we felt unsafe and decided to go home. She was kind and told us it was safe and did offer another room but it was clear to us that was not the issue. There is no way we would have actually slept. We ended up driving home (tons of traffic, totally exhausting) and cutting our trip short. When hotels.com called to get us a refund, the hotel refused. Do not book. I’ve stayed in plenty of cheap hotels and have never felt like I had to leave.

No, No, No...find somewhere ELSE

From check in until check out, I was nervous about the other "guests". Welfare/ homeless housing???? No coffee available in rooms OR office until after 8am. Ceilings falling in bathroom AND soap/ shampoo provided was less than desirable. Had 2 elderly women sitting outside rooms with many luggage bags from 4pm OVERNIGHT. I left at 745am, they were still there. Staffing argued with them multiple times and it was LOUD. Photos wouldn't load.

Never Again!

The sheets and towels were clean. The bathroom floor was slick and the plumbing was LOUD! They provided a box fan to help the A/C that didn’t work even though it was set at 62! The family room had a small kitchenette, refrigerator and microwave.

This property had a lot of potential but ended up feeling more like an early season Schitt’s Creek motel than the listing suggested. The room was not as advertised, and the floor slanted noticeably. The shower pressure was so forceful it sprayed everywhere, and the curtain couldn’t contain it. To make matters worse, the water drained slowly. The window AC unit didn’t work, leaving the room uncomfortable, and the EV chargers were also out of order. Overall, it was a frustrating stay. With some attention to maintenance and honesty in advertising, this place could improve, but as it stands, we would not return.

Very remote location if you are going there for the proclaimed Beach Access, know it’s not a beach for the hotel guests, it’s a private beach for the Oyster Bay residents and you will just sleekly walk into the sandy dunes to just sit next to the life guards! The hotel needs tons of repairs and maintenance no service was provided to my room! For the entire 7 days stay stay and rooms has no coffee machine, plenty or ants and crawling creatures roamed around.
