    Cheap spot on the beach. Rooms small but clean. Staff was super friendly.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Was ok for the money but nothing great

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Has refrigerator, TV, AC, shower, card reader works well, great location, close live band in weekend, parking pretty available generally.

    The pictures of the property are very misleading. The rooms are in an alley and there's no parking. The rooms are cheap and smell terrible. The beach is right across the street. The only good thing. There are people who seem to live there and some of them seem questionable. Do not take your family to this hotel. The bathroom is the size of a closet. I will never make this mistake again. Very over priced!!!

    The hotel is older. But our room was very clean. The staff were very helpful. This place is steps away from places to eat & a short walk to beach.

    Rooms are alright, small but kept up, parking though could be problematic. The staff is wonderful

    If you want to consider the inside the rooms for neatness or cleanliness , I would not suggest this , i didn’t like the stay paying for a hotel which feels like can fall apart any time. TV doesn’t work , no parking , no hot water , lines feels like didn’t wash well, bed moves a lot being spring. Doors need to be pulled very hard everything is to tough to pull , have to full multiple times to open doors or close doors.

    The room was nice. It was clean. The showers are good. The bathroom was clean. Everything was pretty good about this motel, except for parking. There’s hardly anywhere to park for this motel other than paying to park somewhere and having to walk back to your motel, that was literally the only bad thing about that place is nowhere to park. Everything else was great.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff was extremely nice. The only complaint I have is the room smelled like mildew. It's a bed & a bathroom which served it's purpose. It was very clean though. We wanted a room on the beach & that's what it is.

    Pleasant

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location and price. Cleanliness and noise.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Found gnats, roaches, and silverfish. Leaking toilet supply line (was fixed later on first day), water dripping from ceiling during rains, gap under entry door an inch high that could allow insects entry, cold water shower, slow draining bathroom sink, parking was on the street and first come first serve, television connection failed multiple times. Shower tile work was amateurish with cracked and mostly missing grout, exposing edges to my sensitive feet. I don't mind that this is an older property, and staff were friendly and helpful otherwise, but conditions were less than satisfactory.

    Room was very clean great water pressure friendly and helpful staff, parking is limited.
