Forest was amazing. My wife needed to work remotely one day. There wasn't a chair at the desk so Forest gave us one to use. Then he loaned us a power cord for her laptop AND he brought his person internet hotspot the next day just in case they had Internet issues again. Then there was a water disruption and we chose to leave a day earlier. He was very accommodating and refunded us for the missing nights rental. He truly went above and beyond. Thanks from the Hills.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our room was beachfront but the balcony was not private and we were unable to open windows. The motel is under new ownership and going through renovations, which should give it the needed update. It was clean except our floors had residual sand and our bath drain was clogged with previous guests hair. Pillows were awful. Advised on checking in no room cleaning unless requested despite a 3 day stay. We have no problem reusing our towels but some cleaning is warranted with a beachfront motel. Room was spacious and for a 2 star hotel it was adequate. Returning to SGI we will definitely rent a beachfront house as it’s way more reasonable in price comparison.

Although the first room wasn’t up to our expectations and the neighbors were extremely loud, the front desk staff were very kind and offered a different room and when that was just as bad with the noise they gave us one last room. If it wasn’t for that kindness in switching we would have driven back to Monticello. Thank you for giving us a quiet room in the end and being kind.
