We stayed on the lower level- able to walk right out of room to the beach. Room was very basic, but met all our needs. Would definitely stay here again.

Not sure I would stay again.

Pool was nice but the chairs are In need of a cleaning along with the deck area. Bathroom was worse than an outhouse. Location keeps this place going. Right off the beach and affordable. Tiki bar was awesome and the drinks delicious. But not open on Sunday. We had a ton of mold in the shower. The place is old and wore out. Needs a ton of cleaning and maintance. But overall it’s a good bang for your buck.

I use to take the boys 3 years ago to this motel...convient to places of interest...but the bathrooms were terrible..the tub wouldn't hold water even with the tub mode on. The caulking was smeared all over the tiles and mold all under the caulin and all over the tub. The shower curtain was full of tears and holes. There wasn't a closet or a place to hang up anything...

The only thing pleasant about this stay was walking out the door straight to the beach. It was very dirty and staff wasn’t very friendly. The reviews did not match with our stay.

Property needs some help renovating. Our bathroom was horrible! Rusted tub, the floor was peeling up in certain areas, old stained toilet, and the door was peeling, sweltering and very hard to close. The room felt damp and mildewed.

The pool area was dark hardly any lighting, the pool was full of sand, there were groups of people with loud music in the pool area that over drowned out the live band singing, the people in the next room were up all night screaming and yelling slamming doors on the balcony, and the phone in the room did not work which didn't allow me to contact the front desk to complain about the noise throughout the entire night till 4:00 a.m., the one rinse shower at the entrance of the beach was not working properly and was placed in busy area holding up others when trying to rinse your feet. Do not plan to ever stay here again for recommended.
