Not one or two but 3 roaches found at arrival. There was also a roach in the lighting fixture. There were cob webs, stuff on the walls that should and need to be cleaned. The tub was moldy and gross. They used masking tape to “fix” plumbing. Awful stay. Best part about it was just walking on the beach. Go elsewhere. Don’t stay here.

This is an ok hotel but perfect for being right on the beach. We had a walkout room that was great for beach access and view. What it lacked was looking like the images and details on the website. We had no "laptop" desk as quoted. There were no chairs or additional setting in the room. But we were able to pull in the chairs from the porch area. Towels were small and light but we were given new ones every day. No cups or glasses were in the room. The soap in both the sink and shower were empty and were never filled in even though we asked twice. Also, only stairs, no elevator. Not horrible, but just letting you know. Also, a big surpise was the $50 a night deposit for precautionary damage. There was never anything about prior to booking, only came AFTER we paid our reservation/full amount. Also not told was the $5 per night fee for using a credit card. Overall, it was ok. Clean but old. Missing lots of little things, but if you want to just walk out to the beach, it is excellent.

My room was clean! No weird smells, bugs, or mold. The kitchen to my surprise had pans and dishware and utensils! We were only a two night stay but they brought us extra towels and toilet paper and dish soap. We had plenty of towels! My only thing I think they should add to each room is a broom. Being right there by the beach it did get pretty sandy in the room despite our efforts to wash off sand and not track it in. Also maybe a hook or two to hang things on in the bathroom!

Not sure I would stay again.

Pool was nice but the chairs are In need of a cleaning along with the deck area. Bathroom was worse than an outhouse. Location keeps this place going. Right off the beach and affordable. Tiki bar was awesome and the drinks delicious. But not open on Sunday. We had a ton of mold in the shower. The place is old and wore out. Needs a ton of cleaning and maintance. But overall it’s a good bang for your buck.

I use to take the boys 3 years ago to this motel...convient to places of interest...but the bathrooms were terrible..the tub wouldn't hold water even with the tub mode on. The caulking was smeared all over the tiles and mold all under the caulin and all over the tub. The shower curtain was full of tears and holes. There wasn't a closet or a place to hang up anything...
