Great hotel

Room was clean & comfortable. Only complaint was we had electric bikes & our room was on the 3rd floor without an elevator but they accommodated us by showing up a place to lock them up inside the hotel on the 1st floor.

Front desk staff was so nice. Not a fancy property, no elevators, old school vending machines that require cash, but everything is clean, the pool is cute, the beach is right across the street and it was perfect for a quick stay!

Hotels.com ranking let me down

The bed was extremely uncomfortable as was the pillow. There was sand in the bed so I am not sure how clean the room actually was.

Great little motel

The staff were very friendly and were quick with any issues. Our a/c didn’t work well and so we were immediately moved to another room. The rooms were plain and clean which is what we expected. There were plenty of toiletries and towels. The pool is small but very clean and the sun sets behind it so lovely to hang out, swim and watch the sun go down. We really enjoyed being able to sit out on the balcony to read. It’s one block walk to the beach. The team 100% met our expectations and more given the very affordable cost.

A/c did not work first night but staff made it right when reported. They installed a complete new unit in short time. Recommen a room on the back side. Front side facing the street is subject to motocycle racing and cars the tv in the room was not programmable and toilets were small. A bigger person would suffer

Very basic accommodations, some noise issues.

Karen at the front desk was wonderful and helpful. Downsides were: Road noise, A/C is loud when running, bathroom light fixture is also a fan that's very loud -- can't have the light on without the noisy fan.
