Not quite as expected

My bad. I didn't read the description accurately and believed my room included a full kitchen. It did not, just a refrigerator and micro with no plates or silverware. I had brought dinner from home and ended up eating out. I must admit I enjoyed eating out with many restaurants from which to choose. The room was clean and offered a dune view. We could hear the crashing surf and see the ocean at the end of the complex walkway. I did not see a swimming pool or a building that looked like it housed an indoor pool, so check before booking if it's important to you. The room's furniture were a mismatch of styles. There was only one chair for the room., and no closet. This was a budget room. Really not enough negatives to whine about. Just don't expect the Ritz. Had a good time.

If you are looking for anything nice, this is not the hotel. Had it not been Labor Day weekend, I would have found somewhere else to stay. The room wasn’t very clean, stains on the towels and the walls were gross. Wiped water off the floor and towel was dirty from it. Had to have the AC very cold to keep the room from feeling gross.

This was our first time staying in seven years and it now has a new management. Check-in was a breeze. We appreciated the updates however there needs to be a new stove ASAP. Everything else was fine great location!

We loved our stay at the Blue Heron Motel. Right on the beach, close to everything that you would need. It is not a new, fancy hotel (which is what we wanted). It was clean and larger than expected. The only thing I would suggest is to put some curtains on the window in case guests wanted to sleep in. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
