The rooms are dated a bit but clean and great location. The best breakfast place on the property as well.

Although the room looked clean, it smelled very musty. We open the door, but the rain and mugness did not help. I could not stay because of my allergies and asthma.
They were very nice at the desk, but they could not give me a refund since I went through travelocity. They told me to contact you.
Motel overall was good. Can use some updating especially the bathroom but served its purpose. Check in was super easy and friendly. Parking was easy and great. Was quiet.
Called to get more nights, was put on hold for over 40 minutes. When we got there for check-in, we waited 30 minutes to show up in the office. The room had a smell ac u it wasn’t cooling enough. The toilet was pee stained ac unit had an area where it wasn’t closed, so flies kept coming in.
Best location! Friendly staff and very clean comfortable room! I had an ocean front room with an awesome view and would definitely stay here again. Breakfast at the Sahara Cafe was very good, as well! Highly recommend this hotel
Great place to stay near beach. No very fancy but was clean and well maintained.
We were there just for one day. It includes parking so that is very convenient. The property is very large so it has 4-5 different buildings so make sure you book the right building because you could be away from the beach.
