I like that the owner was on the property. This is an older motel. But it was very very clean. We always check the rooms. It was nice to have a slider door with a patio outside. I plan to stay at this motel again. Clean and affordable.

8/10 Good

Motel room was updated with new wood floors furniture and linens. Very clean. The 78.00 was perfect since we just needed to sleep and leave early.
LaDonna, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Everything was fine but barely having hot water was ridiculous.
Gabriel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Unkept.
Camelia, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice staff, pleasant stay. Older aging building.

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.
Anthony, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Unfortunately, my stay was marred by some cleanliness issues. I noticed mold in the room and the air conditioning didn't seem to be fresh. The overall condition of the room wasn't up to par. Given these issues, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to others."
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The facilities are always clean and the lines and towels always smell clean and fresh.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

As outdated as this place is, you might be concerned, but the sheets were amazingly clean and fresh and the rooms were decent for the price.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

This is a small, family-run property. They are doing a lot of work to update it. It was perfect for our overnight stay as a family!
Sarah, 1-night trip

I like that the linens were clean and smelled fresh. I like the room I stayed in because if it’s lighting and patio entrance
Larry, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A good value for the price. The building is a bit run down but my room was clean, comfortable, and quiet and the manager was nice.
Kris, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The location was ideal for going to the beach. The beach was perfect. The hotel is run down but the room was clean, the shower was amazing and the AC was great. The check in was definitely concerning when you arrive you have to dial a phone outside a window with posters warning of the surveillance, that there's NO Breakfast, despite what the website says, and they charge you a $100 room deposit that took 5 days to drop off my credit card. The room was clean and comfortable with a fridge, microwave, TV all in great working condition and the bathroom was good. The bed was very clean and comfortable. The AC was ancient but worked great. The lobby and outside of the hotel weren't in good shape. The neighborhood didn't seem especially safe and the door locks were janky. My major concern was cleanliness and the room met my expectations.
Sara, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Parking is convenient and the building is clean inside and outside. The rooms are comfy and clean and free of smoke smell. The linens smell clean and fresh. The bathrooms are clean and all the white surfaces are white and towels are neatly folded.
