It's a modest place, but it has everything you need to have a good stay, the price per night is very affordable, and the location is very convenient, just a few steps from the beach.

I hate to leave bad reviews but I cannot recommend this hotel. The few towels that were there all had bad stains on them. Same with the sheets. The blankets were filthy and looked like they had never been washed. The toilet seat had feces on it, the towel bar was broken and hanging down and they did not even provide toilet paper. I would have left but was too tired. I had a sheet in the car so I put it on top of the bed and slept on it. I would not chance sleeping in between the sheets. Will never go back.

Not a holiday inn, but it is definitely worth the money and right on the beach, we stay often, it’s a little run down, but clean, and never seen any bugs. For the price, and for being on the beach you can’t beat it. Jamie the new girl was really friendly, everyone has been pretty nice

I booked a room with two beds when I got there the toothless manager asked me if I really needed two beds and then proceeded to put me into a manager‘s quarters, which was filthy. Then I decided I will take the one bedroom that they had left and had to get an air mattress, and when the other people in my party pulled back to the sheets to get into the bed. There was a dirty napkin and stained sheets. Very disgusting and disappointed. They did nothing to amend this except give 20 dollars which covered the cost of the air mattress I bought

Nice stay!

Loved staying so close to the beach and enjoying time with my boys at the beach! Nice distance away from a store and the beach! Will definitely come again!

Honestly

Well 4 hours before my reservation I received a call from them trying to cancel my reservation because they were overbooked. I then tell them I reserved it 3 months ago and they then said they would figure something out. When I arrived they gave me a room with one bed when I needed two beds. Then when I said something they gave us two rooms and I was still upset since that’s not what I reserved. Eventually they did give us the correct room. The place is not a 5 star motel but it’s not terrible it’s a good cheap place you are getting what you pay for.

This is located really close to the beach which is great because I’m disabled. Walking to the beach was fairly easy. This place is being remodeled so keep in mind that it’s got a way to go. The rooms are small and my family of 4 were tripping over each other. However, it was enjoyable and I will be going back as the staff is very friendly and helpful.
