Invest in this property. This was a resort town at one time and attracted many vacationing families. This is not a place to vacation today but it was my only choice since I was visiting family in the area. If it was like it was in its heyday you can make serious money. Thanks

Good stay

The location was what sold this hotel for me. Didnt bother with the pool, but the beach only has swimming when lifeguards are present. The rooms are in the process of updates but the floor in my room was uneven and the door was very tricky to lock/unlock/open. The a.c. units are window units so their efficiency is as expected. Bring your own shampoo and it wouldnt hurt to pack an extra towel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is good for the beach, food, and mini golf right next door.

It was unique and convenient, if not looking a little like a character in a scary movide. The room itself was clean, but not serviced at all unless requested. The windows and doors were covered with dark fabric, and the AC was usable, but needed help. The exterior had a lot of construction or similar debris. The staff is a bit hard to contact and policies and costs were not clear in advance (they charge for each guest to use the pool each time), and there is not trash removal or clean up unless contacted. It is right near the beach and other attractions. That, and curiosity about an odd little place, might make it a place some would find interesting for a stay

Be warned

Be careful when staying there. There was a roach in the bathroom. The lights kept flickering as if there was going to be a blackout. The Air conditioner wasn’t cold as it should be for a summer day. They charged $5 cash to upgrade the room to a king bed and still processed it on the internet when it was booked for a full-size. Very shady business practice.

This was amazing for the price. It was literally a 4 minute walk to the beach. You cannot beat the price and I can't recommend it enough, especially for families on a budget.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was pleasant and helpful, but not the best at listening the first time. There are a few good restaurants in walking distance, with only a short drive to convenience stores. The pool is open 24 hours, but is not lit up well. Using the pool at nighttime all to ourselves was wonderful, but being lit up better would be nice. Beware that the photos show the front office and reception building rather than a view of the rooms, and we were not aware it was a motel until arrival. The power strips and TV were also a toss up on if they were working. Recommended on a budget, and nothing that would make me advise avoiding it, but nothing special.

Beds were comfortable and clean. It looks like they are trying too fix up the place. Dresser draws were full of comforters so you couldn’t but things in them. Had a kitchenette but didn’t use it. No silverware, only a butter knife stuck to a mouse trap tape.bathroom light flickered and shower stall was dark. It was an experience with very comfortable beds.

Just don't.

Just no. run down with some very low budget "improvements", like abandoned wall ac replaced with a tiny, leaky window unit. Holes is dresser from previously bolted down tv's, high step into shower tripping hazard (and dark), Quilted blankets hung on window and all around the room (for "soundproofing" I was told, fire hazard I think) Only positive notes amazing location across from beach, reasonably clean bathrooms but funky carpet and bedcovers. Owner is a friendly guy.
