Linen was clean. Unit was clean. But a lot of small ants appeared on bathroom sink in the middle of the night. No coffee. No shampoo. Towels were threadbare. Cheap compared to others. Would look for another place next time. Property is old and in need of renovation.

Not bad for cheap price
Room does what it needs if you’re just staying the night. Nothing luxurious. Staff was friendly and easy to work with. AC was obnoxiously loud in our room, unsure if it’s just the systems they use. Tiny showers. Overall, you get what you pay for.

Decent stay
It’s an older motel so don’t expect the Hilton standards. They have cameras all over the place and a sign up that says no visitors so it was a very quiet place. They have a grass courtyard in the middle with a little garden so that was nice to see. There only parking is out front so you have to walk like we did to the back of the hotel. Beds were comfortable. No bugs. There was some damage to the inside doors but again it was old. Kitchen was nice only thing that seems updated. Wouldn’t recommend walking around barefoot in the room as my kids did and their feet were black by bedtime. Would stay here again if I needed something cheap and decent.

It was my Birthday weekend and I booked a deluxe king room with the kitchenette but ended up with a deluxe king room without the kitchenette. Not only that our room was all the way at the end in a corner where I didn’t feel comfortable. When I went to the front desk to ask about my reservation he told me I booked for a deluxe king without the kitchenette, ok cool but when I asked to change rooms because I didn’t feel comfortable at the end of the walkway he told me they were all booked up and if I have any problems just let him know. Mind you they had more than 8 vacant rooms with the kitchenette on the bottom floor where we were staying and I’m pretty sure more on the 2nd floor. Even without the kitchenette I would have rather had another room but lesson learnt, my first and last time staying at this hotel. I did make the best of my birthday which was Saturday, April 5 and enjoyed myself at the beach while I was down there.

The rooms are definitely dated... Was cleanand bed was comfy enough... There is a lot of empty space, no chairs or table, not even a luggage rack....pics show that the bathroom counter should ha e space, be prepared it does NOT... shower is only 2/3 feet wide and deep, expect to hit ur elbows on every move... But hey the waters hot... Was good for a quick stay but get the suite if you stay for longer
