It has a great view of the ocean and it was clean. I thought the kitchen should be updated as far as oven and stove. Nor too many utensils or cookware. But it was quaint and staff very friendly.

I had to scramble to find a place to stay, and this was the best option for me. Turned out to be very pleasant. Don’t let the parking situation rattle you. They have spots in the lot across the street free of charge for guests. I like that there was a shared balcony out front. Coffee and the ocean. So relaxing. It was clean and comfortable. That’s all I needed and I was happy.

Was not what i expected. Was to much money for what you got. Room was big enough but bathroom door did not shut all the way. Parking was not good, had to climb over guardrails or walk all the way around them every time you came back to room. Out door furniture in room for a table to eat at. Wouldnt mind if it was cheap, cause your suppose to get what ya pay for. Not the case .

We were not aware of the door not shutting. Being anonymous does not help as you did not tell us while you were here. The state parking lot is a difficulty yes but out of our control. Our pricing is mid-range. If you had stayed at one of our neighbors, you would have gotten the same sort of room for 100 more a night.

They were the nicest people ever! Salt of the earth. The owner was born the same year as my deceased husband and fought in the Vietnam War. I only let my kids drive my car, but I hate to back up. I let Christine back up my car. She threw her arms around me. Boston accent. She skied at Killington where my son skis. Yes we will be back but on the 2nd floor not ground level! Love you guys!

Disliked: Amenities
The location was great. Just cross the street and you are on the beach. We like that there's a kitchenette, fridge and microwave. Wifi was decent and we were able to stream movies. The room was very old. Looks like a 60's style and not in a good way. The queen size bed has a bad box spring on one side, making the mattress sag really bad on one side. The closet consists of a wooden stick supported by two brackets and some wire hangers. The owners seem to cheap out on the box spring which is not a good thing to cheap out on. Also, the "closet" could have been made better by either buying an armoire, or putting two pieces of wood on either side.

Room dirty - stovetop had old food stuck, bathroom ceiling falling down over shower with very visible mold. Location of hotel and room close to “waterfront” extremely noisy from main road traffic. If u overlook all that the outside chairs on what they call balcony almost fell apart when seating and u get to watch traffic and the other building directly in front of you despite this being a water view. Worst experience ever and they need to be cited by state.

Being directly across the street from the beach was perfect for an overnight trip I recently had with my sister. Parking was included so we didn't need to worry. The owners and people who worked there were super friendly, offered food suggestions that were great, and made the experience worth the drive site unseen. Loved that it had a fridge, stove and microwave, also small coffee maker.

First I want to say that the staff was fantastic, and everything was clean, but the property has seen better days. One of the two bed frames felt about ready to collapse, the beds were uncomfortable, and of most concern was the black mold in the shower. Booked as "ocean view", and technically it was: you could *see* the ocean from the sliding door (that was the only real window) if you stood just right. It wasn't a bad stay as such, but it also wasn't fantastic. Paying $300/night we were really hoping for fantastic. Would've been a decent value for half that, maybe.

Response from front desk on 2023/8/9
We have a plumber coming to take care of an issue that you noted. We also tightened up the bed frame as we don't know about those until someone says something. As far as the view is concerned, you had a great view of the water from you room and the pictures we have on-line prove this. Also our pricing is mid-range, so you could have paid a lot more elsewhere and gotten less. You wouldn't want to stay at a beach motel for half of what you paid.

Most of the rooms have been renovated, just not the one you were in. Please try us again and ask for one of the ocean side rooms. Also, some people are still COVID cautious, so there is not any in-room housekeeping. The housekeepers do come by to check on every room every day. You were also welcome to ask for what you needed at the desk.

First, let me say the staff was great! As for the room, well that all falls on the owner. You walk in to room 17 and see a 4’x4’ square patch on the ceiling that has actually pulled away from the ceiling hanging down. On the left you see what I assume was a sheetrocked over door that is unfinished. That’s the view from the door in lol. The bathroom had a toilet with hard water stains in the bowl, drop ceiling tiles over shower had leak stains with rust stains on shower floor directly below. Paint and a ceiling tile are easy cheap fixes and these were not fresh issues so this just shows an owner who doesn’t care. We had two nights and only used the room to sleep. $290 a night after taxes, there are better places.

Yes we could not fix patch on the ceiling that someone pulled down until the room free (today). We also just closed off the door to the next room as we are creating another motel room. It did not look at all bad, just needed painting. We do care as you can well tell from the other reviews.

34th anniversary!
We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. They called a day ahead to check when we’d be arriving. We were running a bit late and called to notify them. They were grateful and thanked us several times. Unit was very clean and had a full kitchen. Friendly staff! It was nice not being right on the boardwalk as less noise during the night but just a short walk to all the activities. A relaxing time which was just what we needed!
