Overall the property was nice and quiet but I do think if your going to have a front desk that it open 9-6 and no one is in there it makes it harder to ask questions

DO NOT GO TO THIS MOTEL. We were totally misled. The “deluxe” room for 4 adults looked nothing like what we were shown in pics. Two people had to sleep on a small recliner and had to put the bench below our feet so our feet wouldn't hang. A 7-year-old kid could have slept there. They didn't provide sheets for this until we asked. The shower floor and sides had scratches and stains and looked filthy. We showered in our slippers. The air conditioner wasn't attached completely. There was a hole on the side that they covered with the towel and secured with the clothespin. They were also unresponsive. We were texting without any response a few times. My family is very disappointed at the motel and Expedia for marketing the place like something that is acceptable. We asked for at least a partial refund as the room had space for 2 and not 4 adults and didn’t get anything. I wish I could include photos!

Traveled with my teenage son and the space was just right. The location was great, just a short walk down to all the fun. Room was clean and had all the essentials; mini fridge, microwave, air conditioner, shower, tv with tons of streaming. Definitely recommend!

The owners have put a lot of creativity into caring for this property! Every detail has been considered! There was even a small arcade in our room, which we enjoyed. Fun place within easy walking distance of the harbor.

Cheap Stay, get what ya pay for, would go again

Cheap little place for a couple nights. Company contact was in touch before your stay with check in info. Uses electronic door locks with codes, no keys to worry about I like that. It was my wife, 2 kids and myself. Room was good for just a couple nights. Not sure when trash day is, but all the barrels were full, even the "recycling barrels" were full of trash instead of recyclables. We were in unit 4, could use some new flooring/updating but it was serviceable. Had everything we needed for a couple nights. We would stay again, the price was what I expected for value and what you get. There is a dollar general down the road if you forget something, as well as a Walgreens. Mile walk to Pier or drive down, we drove and paid for parking. Biggest thing I didn't like, which others mentioned in reviews was the mandatory $35 fee for verification. It's just an added fee on top of the price, which I have never seen when booking hotels. It was still cheapest with the fee for our trip in the area.

The motel needs a large amount of updating, the bathroom shower had tape in the corners, tile floors were cracked, radiator was missing the front shield and full of dust and cobwebs, some blankets had stains and rips in them.

Small but cute property a quick walk to the beach. Upon arrival at 4 pm we met the owner ann who was very nice. The space was a great size but the shower was to dirty to use without sandles and the ac was not encased in the window fully which let bugs into the room.
