The hotel was dated, but clean and comfortable. The staff was nice and everything in the room was in good working order. Good value for the price.
Blessed because you can’t put a price tag on a pie
Greatest staff I have ever encountered. I travel a lot for work & I stay in places all across this country. Not the newest place but we were here for the Beach. We will be coming back see you next year.
Did not like the condition of the room.
Sheets need to be thrown out ,purchase new pillows or thrown out .stains on beds stains on pillows mold and mildew and roaches. We actually did not stay the second night ended up leaving ...
It's definitely an older place & very basic, but it was clean & comfortable enough. The man at check-in was very kind & friendly. It does have a small microwave & refrigerator, which was not mentioned in the description I had read about it. Bring your own hangers if you want to hang things up.
Loved that it was so close to the public beach access. (Walking distance honestly). The owners were easy to.deal with and very nice. Clean place for an older hotel

not your high end location, more for budget family or just need a place to rest. mom and pop owned type of location don't expect a lot but other than that great location to all around area.
The owners were incredibly nice. Quick check-in, short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay! The ONLY thing that bothered me was the carpet in the room. It was definitely very old and dirty. It didn’t impact our stay, we just wore our shoes inside.

Got the family room with 3 queen beds. It was very clean and conveniently located. The front desk persons were very friendly. Our only problem was a sleepless night due to a broken ac unit in the room. If they can fix it, I'd definitely recommend this for an easy, economical beach stay.
I love the location of this property but for the price we paid, next time I will pay a little extra and drive a little farther to go to a place that I know is newer and will be clean. The bathroom was a repair mess of slapping lipstick on a pig, exposed seams buckling at the edges of some wall repairs (I took pictures if you want them). The place still had carpet which is probably why the musty moldy smell was so strong. I checked the filter in the AC and that was clean (small bonus) With all the other conditions I was actually worried about bed bugs so we slept on top of the comforter in hopes that, if they were there, they might not get us through all the fabric. The smell was a little better when we left the door open but we could not sleep exposed like that. I'm still having sneezing fits a week later. Sorry will not return
