We were disappointed in the plastic feeling sheets. Why not use plastic over mattress, but with 100% cotton layers over that? Also, we were disappointed there was no pool, which we expected for the price of the stay.

Andy was super friendly when we checked in. The room was very clean. We couldn’t find the bathroom ventilation fan…a little strange. And there’s no lock on the bathroom door as well. But overall ,it is a clean room. Easy parking and easy drive to mist destinations.

Hotel is clean. Beds aren’t the comfiest but ok for one night. Location is awesome. Small parking lot so if you have a larger vehicle, it might be tricky getting in/out. Be aware that their cancellation policy is 72 hours compared to the usual 24 hours. It’s a full nights stay if you cancel within 72 hours.

This is a very nice motel and updated. The room was very clean and had all that we needed like towels, toiletries, microwave and ample space. It looks like the rooms have been recently renovated which is really nice. There was also air conditioning in the room which was a nice plus. It's a pretty quiet area and its across the street from the beach where you can walk. We felt safe and had a comfortable stay. I Would highly recommend.
