Clean rooms. Place could use some repairs...but, nothing that bothered us or made our stay any less enjoyable. Great view of the ocean. Good nightly rates. The guys who run this place were pretty cool to us. We will stay here again.

Great place to stay. Flooring paint in hallways are my favorite I love the splatter look, it’s so different to other hotels. Also staff are great, have a great sense of humor and love to joke with you while checking in. Have two small children and they enjoyed the stay as well, even enjoyed running around with staff from time to time. Rooms are clean and very nice. Will definitely be back!!!

I have to say the location was perfect, the staff was absolutely amazing and so friendly. Mohammed was so friendly and helpful. We made reservations at another hotel and when we arrived the hotel messed our reservations up and we had no where to stay. So I called this place explained our situation and he said come on I got you. I would recommend to anyone..

I booked here by accident after reading the reviews and seeing the photos and expecting the worst. I will say when I arrived I was greeted by two of the nicest young ladies in the front office. After taking care of the paperwork they went to ensure that the room was ready to be occupied while I went to get my things out of the car. Once I got to the room, it was nothing of what I was expecting. The room was nothing like the photos in the reviews, it has been remodeled and was just great for the stay. I spoke with the young ladies and they are working hard to remodel the entire building and it is going to take some time and that is understandable when working with some of these older buildings. But I would definitely rebook again for the same room for a weekend getaway. Keep pushing yall, one step at a time.

I dont know why this place gets a bad rap. It's "well loved", older motel. But placement on the beach, great! Good service! The ocean view rooms are a fantastic view. Decent budget motel.

Beautiful rooms. Amazing staff. Beautiful pool. Amazing price for the scenery. I've seen so many bad reviews and none are true. Only a $20 resort fee when you check in. Front desk man, Moe, is really nice as well. Highly recommend!!
