    Conveniently close to the beach and restaurants.

    The motel offered a continental breakfast fro 7:30-10. The office, where the food was, was closed. We even called the number on the door at 8:00 and got a voice message and never got any response. We left at 9am and they still was closed and couldn't check out. Also the coffee appliance in the room was broken, so I couldn't get coffee, either. She was so friendly when we checked in, but was a no show the next morning.

    Great location. Only a 2 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. It was a real throw back motel. They even served a breakfast in the lobby. Could have used an air conditioner.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Perfect for a classic beach stay, it aint a resort but literally walking distance to every thing you need,especially the beach

    Staff was very helpful atleast .

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Even though it didn't have air conditioning, the fan was all that I needed. And it had a great location just a few blocks from the beach.

    Parking was good, there’re a few things that they need to fix. It is an old building that need attention from the owner. Location is great !

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The most unappealing room I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in quite a few traveling for my job for 30 years. This was a pleasure trip. The hotel staff knew I was a late check-in due to my transportation. My friends who were also staying in town went to the hotel before me to make sure that I was expected, picked my key card. Dana, the front desk person took my friends to my room, and my friend was shocked at by what they had moved me to stating that there was something wrong with the electrical in the original room. The replacement room had no amenities no washcloth or hand towels in my room no phone in my room, it has a residential back door with a very small patio that is only separated by some very old very unattractive bamboo. I have no words to describe other than some kind of a tall fencing made of a single layer of bamboo that you can clearly see through basically sharing that space with the patio next-door also creating a security risk . The patio deck looks out onto a roof and a partial wall of the building Next-door and a window next to that with only half the amount of blinds that is needed to cover that window, a Jacuzzi tub that was very old rundown rusty. I didn’t even dare to try it. In fact I avoided my room only to sleep and showered once during my stay. No one made me aware of when the “free breakfast” if you could call cold cereals toast with an open jar of jelly and also a community jar of peanut butter which I saw the day. I was leaving checking out

    No hay aire acondicionado Hizo mucho calor no podíamos Dormir bien

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    No A/C....it was hard to fall asleep. Very poor shower water pressure. Then in the middle of the night an unknown person opened our door saw us lying in bed then closed the door suddenly...kind of creepy.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Regular motel. If you are someone that requires a cool room to sleep please be advised that there is no AC, there is only a fan on the wall. The room we stayed at did not have a window net screen so we did not feel comfortable sleeping with the windows open.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Never

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We didn't get a receipt for the fee I ask for receipt they said to provide email we never received it. This hotel is doing fraud guaranteed. Please book another hotel Plus don't go by the picture on the site misleading. (Fraud fraud fraud this plca needs to get investigated.)

    It was clean and comfortable beds

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Parking is decent, but small, lots of big cars made it hard to park, staff was not in the office when arrived to Motel. Rooms have no air conditioning, just an oscillating fan. I get that its near the beach but was uncomfortable due to the high heat in the area. In room refrigerator and microwave came in handy to reheat left overs, not too many have them anymore. Overall, enjoyed the stay.
