Great marketing, as the photography on their website is so deceptive. Never again, will we stay at this motel. Not family owned, but owned by an LLC.

Clean reasonably priced Motel right on the beach. Covid restrictions are still in place so getting additional coffee etc. after the first day was annoying. But everything worked and it was clean. Would come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I checked in, I essentially FaceTimed with someone who handled it. I asked about coffee but the person really wasn’t familiar with the property amenities. The wifi was awful - I was there on a working trip and ended up having to go somewhere else to work. The property is old and falling apart. The big draw is the price.

There was no mirror in the room, which made it seem cell like. My earring fell under the bed, and when I moved it there were a bunch of dead roaches. However, the location was great, the ice machine was awesome, and the proximity to the beach was fantastic.

No staff at reception. Overseas computer connection. Shower…no pressure. Ocean view gone from hotel rear…overgrown brush. Flies…in room and walkways. Great location! Terrible parking. Trash all through walkway in rear.
