The hotel was nice, don’t get me wrong. Right by the beach and cute little place. Our room just didn’t feel clean. There was a wet spot by the window the whole time also someone’s half drank sprite was in the fridge.. it wasn’t a terrible stay just mildly questionable.

The property smelled very clean when you walked in & though the hallways, but as soon as you walked into the room it changed. The room had a stale smell to it. We had to buy air freshener to make it smell better

Everything was great. Just some things I didn't like was the swimming pool is very small and only is 4.5 feet deep. With teenagers that is like a kiddie pool. Elevators are slow, hot and take too lonĝ to open once stopped. Breakfast was ok.But the motel was clean, staff friendly and walking distance to beach.

We only stayed for one night but absolutely LOVED this location! We came for the beach and it was so close! There was also a few restaurants very close that had delicious food. Staff was so wonderful upon check in and friendly every time we saw them! Room was bigger than expected and had everything we needed. We only stayed for one night but it was clean and comfortable for that one night.

Excellent location!

The receptionist were both great! I needed a few pages printed and they helped at no charge! The only drawback is the additional $12.50 per day for parking, which to me was ridiculous. Other than that, I had a great stay there...location, location, location! I had a great view of the ocean, so super happy camper!

The staff were all so sweet and friendly. I had 2 kiddos with me and every morning, the breakfast staff would help keep my baby entertained while I made our plates. She was the sweetest woman and I hate that I cannot remember her name. The rooms were nice and quick with replacing towels. Super close to the beach, beautiful view
