No, the toilet didn’t flush but eventually after several notices was fixed. There was no hair dryer in the room as advertised. But they did bring one up to me. The parking was an extra fee if $12.00 per day.

It’s just OK.

For the price, it was just OK. Close to the beach. The property has been renovated however the bathrooms are a bit crusty, the shower handles had build up, and the corners of the bathroom floors were dirty with hair, powder, etc. Though the rooms were recently renovated, there was a very strong musty smell in the room. VERY strong. I woke up with a runny nose. There was a constant rattling/windy noise in the room, as if the window did not properly fit in the window sill or needed repair, etc. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was very lacking. They were completely out of silverware and everything was just very meh. Needless to say, we grabbed a prepackaged yogurt and left. While eating, the overwhelming smell of air freshener downstairs permeated the air which you notice upon checkin as well (it’s as if they’re trying to cover up the musty smell). Overall, it was just OK.

We enjoyed a budget friendly weekend to celebrate our 28th anniversary. It is only a block away and an easy walk to the beach. The staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We will likely return for future trips.

The hotel was nice, don’t get me wrong. Right by the beach and cute little place. Our room just didn’t feel clean. There was a wet spot by the window the whole time also someone’s half drank sprite was in the fridge.. it wasn’t a terrible stay just mildly questionable.

Everything was great. Just some things I didn't like was the swimming pool is very small and only is 4.5 feet deep. With teenagers that is like a kiddie pool. Elevators are slow, hot and take too lonĝ to open once stopped. Breakfast was ok.But the motel was clean, staff friendly and walking distance to beach.

We only stayed for one night but absolutely LOVED this location! We came for the beach and it was so close! There was also a few restaurants very close that had delicious food. Staff was so wonderful upon check in and friendly every time we saw them! Room was bigger than expected and had everything we needed. We only stayed for one night but it was clean and comfortable for that one night.

Excellent location!

The receptionist were both great! I needed a few pages printed and they helped at no charge! The only drawback is the additional $12.50 per day for parking, which to me was ridiculous. Other than that, I had a great stay there...location, location, location! I had a great view of the ocean, so super happy camper!
