Hotel is very outdated. The room amenities advertised when we booked were not in the room that we got on arrival. The manager and I agreed that I booked the “same” room but that the room did not come with what was offered in the description despite having a screenshot of my booking.

The staff was responsive to problems reported. The motel room, office, pool, and grounds were clean. Parking was marginal - small parking area with no room for turning around.

The owner was so friendly and accommodating! We needed to leave a day early due to storms headed our way and he was happy to refund us our last night. All staff was friendly and brought us towels daily! The front office has everything you need should you run short, and a kiosk in case you lock yourself out of your room and need a new room key (my husband found that useful when he locked himself out in the middle of the night). Overall a wonderful stay and right on the beach and next door to the fishing pier (which has 2 restaurants on it).

It was nice that it was right on the ocean. people with pets should only be in a separate designated area. Dogs left in room alone next to ours barked nonstop, along with yelling and pounding noises of their owners caused us to leave a day sooner than planned and paid for.

The property was very old and not updated but it was very clean. This does not refer to the property but our stay was not pleasant due to other renters being VERY loud outside at a late hour!

The stay for the money was good. Bathroom was very small, no dressing mirror, no hand held shower fixture, so ladies bring a shower cap if you don’t want to wash your hair everyday! Parking was bad.

The beach is right there, making it easy to be back and forth from beach to your room. The beach is amazing and there is lots of food and shopping options close by. The room is small but clean. Parking lot is small but not to bad. It would be nice if they would clean the rooms, they drop off fresh towels every day but don’t come in to clean or change sheets. Over all it would be hard to beat for the price.
