It’s ok
There is a perfume smell in the rooms. Maybe a cleaner but it’s harsh. No one manning the desk although before midnight. Took awhile to find someone

Close to the beach but would never stay again.
Upon arrival clean supplies were stacked outside our room. When we entered we were hit with an extremely strong chemical odor / scent of cleaning supplies it was hard to breathe. That smell was there for the entire stay. Unfortunately we also had very disruptive neighbors above us who were yelling until 3am. We were on ground level. The ceilings are very thin. It felt unsafe and unsettling.

2/10 Poor

Under whelming hotel experience
The beds were fine but that’s all there was 2 queen beds a small night stand and light, refrigerator that had mold and a tv that had the most shoddy internet we have ever seen. For some reason, they had two windows open that we didn’t know we’re open and then we realize they were because they said the cleaning lady said there was a smell and I thought it was really scary. Actually maybe somebody would actually climb in. We are on the second floor it didn’t matter there was nothing behind but trees, so we closed it because it was opened with a plastic hanger and then the bathroom was so small. They have a showerhead that’s right up on top in the middle of the shower and they have a glass door and I’m sorry I didn’t take pictures that you couldn’t even turn it on without getting your hair wet . So we used a crest toothpaste to turn it on so we didn’t get wet, but there was nowhere to stand. If you don’t wanna get your hair wet and the shower because the huge spray is a big square water spray that was just in the middle on top sprayed With a cloth shower curtain to close by the glass shower door very confusing will never stay there again ever. Also, they said there’s 15 places to park there’s only 10 nobody knows how to park in the parking spot so I had to park where you walk in the gate in my big truck and the person that ran the place that had to move his car so I can move in the gate and then he could park behind me luckily, the next night I found a spot, but it was so tight.

Quiet and friendly
Not meant for the people expecting top notch first class service. This is a family owned and run business. Very hard working family that is more than happy to help with any issues you may have. They do have beach towels and several chairs to bring to beach. Coffee and microwave are located in the office for use. Very quiet place to stay

Run down but great location.
Room had mildew and smelt of mold. I believe we overpaid for what we got. The motel is right near the beach and had a great location. Would suggest getting dehumidifiers in each room.
