I attempted to call and email in advance to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Nobody answered the phone. Nobody returned my messages that were left on their answering machine. Nobody emailed me back. Worst customer service ever!

Overall a good place to go too for bike week. Pool a little cold but that's no the venues spot.
Great older motel. You can see that they take pride in keeping it clean and tidy. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Good location, diner attached to property has great food and service also.

Was not bad for the price.It was clean but just out of date.staff was great.close to beach was great.Just don't expect a 5star hotel.Worth what it cost
The room could have been cleaner . Bathroom had mold in shower . The bathroom sink area could have been cleaned better it had something on it that had dried up and left on it . There were ants in the bathroom and when you come in the door. Beach view was good. Staff was nice.
