This is an older motel in need of some upgrade. For a 1 night stay I found this to be quite adequate. Staff was friendly and room was acceptable.

There was a lot of rubbish under the table from previous customers.

4/10

Location was great. Nice pool, water views, easy walk over to shops and the boardwalk for restaurants. The hotel though? Room wasn’t vacuumed, there was rubbish under the bed, no fresh towels in the room, the bin wasn’t emptied and there was no door to the bathroom. At all. For the price, the location was fine. The room was below average.

Its close to the water, in a nice convenient spot. Later checkout to most places. However, upon entering heading to our room there was a hole in the roof (looked like bad water damage) in the pool they have a nice shallow end for children, but the pool was dirty, we pulled a half fish body out of the shallow section. Overall just had a real weird vibe.

2/10

This motel was dirty, the grounds were covered in rubbish, it had mould on the ceiling in the bathroom. There was exposed cables hanging behind the bed. The railings of the stairs do not meet code! I feel it's unsafe and inhabitable and needs to be deep cleaned, re painted or maybe just demolish It. $300 for the 1 night and it was absolutely disgraceful.

The location is fantastic, very walkable to the main shops. Our family room was clean, sps hood, has hot water, fridge, microwave and kettle plus small tv. Value for money
