Comfortable bed and cold a/c. Right across from seawall. Literally the only plus’. Room lamps had rust, walls need to be repainted, and curtains cleaned. Outside area was messy! Trash and cigarette butts everywhere!

Room was clean, beds were very comfortable and fridge was cold. Only thing that I didnt like was that there were only showers and the water didnt stay warm/hot. Tried the pool on a previous stay and it was nice. Couldn't this time because it rained just before I got there and they closed the pool.

This is where we stay the night before a cruise. It’s close and convenient. It’s an older “Motel” that has been semi remodeled repainted whatever you wanna call it. The sheets were clean the floors and sinks and bathrooms were clean and it’s an exceptional right for the night.
