TV was confusing to use - should have had instructions that matched the remote. Desk clerk was helpful but it took him almost a half hour to get it to work. Toilet lid and seat would not stay up without being held. (Room 305). Comfortable and clean! Would stay again.

Good hotel, wish the front desk was better.

Great location and nice hotel. Not the best front desk service. They charge a “resort fee” when you show up (after you’ve paid the full price). Very slow and received a finger from the attendant telling me to wait as he answered the phone to book someone for about 10 minutes after I had been waiting in line behind another group for 10 minutes. Overall, good experience. Just some slightly unimpressive customer service.

The only thing I didn't like was the floor was dirty. Also, the TV did not work the first night and had to wait until morning for someone to fix

Nice that it was oceanfront. It is an older property and it looks like they try to keep as clean as best as they can. There was (dog?) poop outside of our door two mornings. Most likely will never stay here again.

Check-in staff was NOT friendly. She did not share times the pool was open, where to get ice, or the fact that there was NO ELEVATOR and we were in the 4th floor!! The room was fine. Beds were comfortable & shower was decent. AC worked well. Location is excellent. But, the ice machine did not work the ENTIRE time we were there in a July heat wave. There was a cockroach in the pool area & on our balcony the last night. And someone let their dog poop on the second story landing & did not clean it up the day we were checking out. I DO NOT recommend this motel at all, unless you have absolutely no other options.

Here are my pros and cons

Checkin was slow. Apparently a family owned business. Overall the room was clean but the ceiling had a lot of water damage. The bathroom floor was especially dirty looking. The good points: We could open the sliding glass doors directly to the pool and the ocean front. That was the main advantage to this hotel. Restaurants were convenient by car as well. The mattresses were very good. Even at peak season I felt the price point was high for the size and comfort level of this establishment. $25-$50 less would have been closer. Would I go back? Maybe, maybe not. In off season, I would try for something nicer.
