It is an old motel but it is updated and clean. Beds are comfortable and the staff friendly and my friends and I love the bar on the beach. Always a great time!

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were updated and comfortable. Bar is right on beach. Bartenders were great. Theoutside of the motel could use some updating. The streaming setup they use with their tvs is terrible. Nothing plays continuously. It wouldve been nice to be able to watch the world cup games while changing from beach attire to evening attire.

Verified review

2/10 Poor

We were disappointed. Some rooms looked better than others but ours was worn out and and had old, loud air conditioning that hung right over the bed and a loud industrial fan of some sort kicking on outside our window during the night. Add the constant music playing from the bar most of the day until 1am. This place is not quiet. If you want to sit at their beachside bar, this is the place for you. It is giant and right on the water but it overshadows their small beach so if that’s not your scene, stay somewhere else. The staff was very helpful.

We definitely had a good view of the beach and the room was spotless. so why 4 stars instead of 5. There were no soap dishes in the shower. the shower enclosure was very clean and very stylish - it's just those soap dishes that were missing

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Overall our stay was very good. The room was clean, bright white towels and bedding was clean. This was our 1st time staying here. The only drawback was power outage when using the AC and blow dryer in our room #5. The fuse popped and the staff resolved very quickly. I recommend adding another fuse for the AC so this doesn’t occur. It would’ve been great to have a small Keurig machine for coffee & tea. But that isn’t a deal breaker for us! We will be back again next July for my Mom’s birthday celebration. 😊
