For those of you on a budget or want a decent value, this is not the place. This is lipstick on a rat, right on a busy road …honestly resembles a made over Motel 6 , in fact might have been. Jam packed parking, rooms right in parking lot on the first floor. Gentleman, if you want to impress you partner keep looking, there are many places for the same price point that kicks this place’s ass…honesty even Motel 6…well okay… sames,

Newly renovated and wonderful staff

The staff was kind and receptive and they did a guest of the day random surprise and they picked us! It was such a nice treat to have the free parking and we didn't get to use the bicycle rental, but it was such a lovely gesture.

Great updated rooms with comfy beds and effective air conditioners. Small but useful parking lot. Pool area needs upgrades and extra cleanliness attention but there is a pool and jacuzzi on site. Beautiful neigborhood walk to the beach. Loved the bike rentals.

The guy who ran the check in and front desk was one of the best customer service managers I’ve seen. The pool was nice and convenient, except when 2 teenagers jumped the fence to get in… then I had to be more aware of security. Manager handled very well.

The staff is excellent - can’t say enough nice things about them. But they need to fix up the rooms. Sone outlets don’t work. The clock/alarm is with the phone and doesn’t work either. The most annoying thing is that there is no real door to the bathroom. There is a sliding door so to speak which cannot close all the way and part of it slides off the rod from which it hangs and there is no way to lock it. I didn’t see an air conditioner or dehumidifier. No food options or listings for door dash. The place is fine but it needs an update

The Shoal did not disappoint. Immediately, upon entering the room, it smelled clean. It was nicely decorated and efficient. The bathroom was beautiful with nice tiles and a glass shower door. Everything on the grounds is clean and in good condition. We used the pool, hot tub and laundry facilities. Coffee and oatmeal were available for breakfast. There is a short walk to the beach. All the employees were wonderful.
