8.6/10 Excellent! (195 reviews)

Temperature was comfortable as was the bed. Great lighting. I gave the pool a 5, but it was closed 10/31, and we were there in November. So happy to find a motel that offers a walk in shower. It’s easier for everyone. The room was easily accessible for my husband, who has mobility issues. There is a TV, but don’t expect to watch current networks unless you want to download your subscription information, which is automatically deleted at check out.

9/10 Wonderful! (58 reviews)

Lovely updated boutique beachfront hotel. We enjoyed the nice amenities, fluffy towels and well done room decor. It’s off season so the staff was not as available but we had a great time. Can’t wait to use the new pool too. Thanks again. We look forward to returning.

Well appointed room, love the lpl floors. I think two things wash the windows, I had a river view and the windows were not clean. House keeping knocked on my door at 930Am checkout was 11. This hotel is greatly located central to everything!!
