    Lousy experience. Everything needs updating.

    There was no AC. This place is not meant to a senior person or one that had mobility issues. A LOT of stairs. My main window faced the pool and so it was noisy. Would not recommend EVER.

    A funky mid-century modern motel. Retro "mom and pop". Bed was very comfortable. Location excellent, block and a half from the beach. Appreciate the large double sink that two can easily use.

    WiFi could have been better. The breakfast was very limited.

    Very good

    This hotel is a great deal for the price. Don’t expect anything fancy, but it’s very clean, you can’t beat the location and the staff was amazing. The pool was also extremely clean and pleasant temperature.

    Expedia is horrible. I was not happy with the room at all. The bed had dark spot on the sheets the pillows were coming out of the pillow cases. The windows and screens had so much dirt on them. The room was not clean. When I asked for a discount or my money back to leave they said no they could not do anything for me. Then I ask for a receipt when I left the hotel and it was $35 less than what Expedia charged me. Lesson learned I’ll shop around for my hotel room next time.

    ~ There were dirty finger prints on the light switch and door jam & frame. ~ Be sure to ask for a room AWAY from outside sitting areas. They provide nice outside patio areas, but if your room is right next to one, you may have people talking outside your room at all hours, morning and night. (There is no air conditioning, but we were comfortable with fans and open windows...unfortunately, we had to close the window due to the loud talking. =(
