The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Our room was cozy and had a great view. The elevators were a bit scary looking, but worked quickly. Very quiet location.

Things I liked were the huge heart shaped Jacuzzi tub, location, easy access to the boardwalk and beach. Things I didn't like were the small, uncomfortable bed, small tv, toilet lid wouldn't stay up while I was peeing, and the rooms aren't very sound proof.

Great customer service from the entire staff! The rooms were well maintained and clean. We had an issue with a leak coming through the ceiling due to another guest flooding their bathroom above us, and we were moved to another room without issue. Would definitely stay again.

This is an older property that is showing its age.It is clean and comfortable, beds were good but certainly not modern.It is the last motel at the southern end of the beach so not close walking distance to many shops.We had an issue with the toilet which was addressed quickly and a problem with being locked out which was quickly fixed.The TV was smaller than my computer monitor and needed 2 remotes to operate.I couldn't get a printout of my stay because I didn't book directly with them.We didn't use pool but it was located between the motel and the road,not ideal position.
