One of the worst places u could ever stay dont save on this one
-
The hotel was very accommodating and the staff were friendly and helpful
-
The owner and family live there and are not nice people
-
Speaking of the rooms, they are decent size with plenty of room to spread out. As for amenities, the refrigerator and microwave worked perfectly; the TV worked fine and offered a wide variety of channels; ice machine provided outside, which was handy. The shower is large upgraded, and offering plenty of hot water. I check in was easy and the owners are very friendly and welcoming.

Room was clean and we didn’t need to worry about anything we needed and the staff was absolutely wonderful

Upon entering the room, it was clear that the floors were dirty. The kind of dirty that forces you to wear shoes whenever you weren’t in bed. We presented our concerns to the front desk and they were apologetic and scheduled a “Full Service” cleaning for that day. We also asked for two additional towels as there were only two in the room. We were instructed to find one of the cleaning staff and ask them for more towels. Off to the beach we went for the day and when we returned, NOTHING had been done. Bed was not made, nothing in the bathroom appeared to have been cleaned and the floor hadn’t been touched. AGAIN, we brought this to their attention. 5 minutes later, the young lady working the front desk, NOT a member of the cleaning crew, shows up with a broom to sweep (not mop) the floors. Then, realizing that only one roll of toilet paper was left in the room, I again made a trip to the front desk asking for an additional roll and AGAIN, I was told to find a member of the cleaning staff to ask for an additional roll. Why am I the one having to hunt this stuff down? Now listen, my gal and I are not some bougie cosmopolitans that violently recoil at the sign of dust, a dirty remote control or a skid mark in the toilet. If they had advertised that basic amenities were in fact “self-serve” at least we would’ve been prepared and could’ve made our decision to stay there with that in mind. All this and I still haven’t mentioned the broken bed that I fell out of. Yep, true story.

Great location but little towels super thin and bot enough
-
The only positive about this motel is the location. It’s within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shops, which is why we booked it. For the price we paid, I expected much better quality and upkeep. While the location is convenient, I would not stay here again.

The towels were stained. I told the hotel desk and they were willing to replace them. The television did not work in the morning. The bed was old and needs to be replaced. The staff was nice.
