Great location

Location is awesome. It is with a short stroll to the beach. Staff was cordial. Bathroom was dated. Tub showed rust stains. Worst part was the king size bed. Bed felt horrible. Matress has outlived its lifespan a few years ago.

We like the location of the property. Being able to have full beach view is very important to us, at a reasonable price. While the housekeeping was a bit lacking, the staff was very helpful and immediately addressed areas that were not as they should be. We will stay there again and I will recommend it to others.

Honestly the only positive thing about this location was the front staff. The bathroom toilet leaked so bad and sewage was all you could get smell. The carpet felt wet constantly and had to wear shoes the whole time. It was so run down and gross we left early because we couldn’t stand to stay another night. Don’t waste your money, way over priced looks more like a pay by the hour type of motel.

Quick and easy check in, plenty of parking and very friendly staff. Even though the property is older , it was very clean and bed/ pillows were comfortable. Nice beachfront property with good heavy continental breakfast included. Would definitely stay again !
