The rooms were definitely old yet modern however, there was a dead roach in one bathroom and a lot of nats in the other bathroom. The bed was a little too firm for my liking. But I lived that we were walking distance from the beach

For the price, it was fine. It was clean, and i would stay again, however, our room was just the 1 queen bed and it was a bit tight. The shower was big, but the rest of the bathroom was snug. The sink was very small and the water was hard to keep in it. But it was reasonably priced for the area.

I love the vibe of the property. It was kind of retro and beachy with the bright colors of the doors and bright yellow pool chairs and umbrellas. The room had everything you needed and we had enough space to spread out our suitcases. The small frig was so cute and served a purpose with our taking up too much room. The bathroom sink was very small or maybe it was the big faucet that took up so much room. Regardless, it was perfect for our 2 night stay!

This room is tiny. The pictures online are deceiving. Sink in bathroom is the smallest I have ever seen. Cant use toilet properly because its up against wall on right side. If u just want a bed to sleep in its ok. Oh, our lights kept flickering and surging so much that I was afraid to sleep thinking building would catch fire.

Upon arrival after 4.5 hours of driving with a 6 year old, getting in around midnight, we found little to no parking. The spots are so narrow that there are nearly inches between you and another vehicle. Our first night we had to go around the parking lot 4 times to find a spot to fit our small suv in. Because it was at night, it made it more difficult. This caused us to avoid leaving by car for any destination at all costs throughout our stay with the fear of losing a decent spot. In addition, while the motel is esthetically pleasing, there were several issues in quality of maintenance. For example, lamps that are in the wall by the beds were falling off and you could not turn them on. The only light option was the ceiling light. The window in the bathroom was poor. Looked like it had a weird film over it or painted over. It also looked like it wasn’t properly sealed at the bottom or unable to close. There was a huge spot on the wall near the AC where a leak may have been, wood floors were separating towards that area of the room as well. Front door was not sealed properly so heat would come in at the top. In addition, we never saw a single staff member. Cynthia was very pleasant on the phone to confirm our room. We did text about an issue with yellow jackets flooding the front door (due to them liking a palm tree) and I did hear them spray. I did complain about the parking with zero response. I could go on but there’s no room left to type.
