No heater in room. Had to request portable heater. Requested 2 days in advance for a refund for 1 day as a doctor changed appointment and would not refund. When arrive they charged a "3rd party" of $45 because booked on Expedia. Originally brought me a tow to use a drain plug in bathtub. Bait and Switch price and no maid service.

You get what you pay for.
It was a decent spot but it has been run down. Not bad if you’re just getting some rest and a shower. Beds were okay. Linens were clean. Also was not beach front as shown in photos.

This is a nice motel. The staff is friendly and the location is great. The room we stayed in needed updating, but I noticed other ground fllor rooms were already updated. I woul suggest paying for a nicer room. We had a good stay and will return.

Staff friendly and helpful. Older hotel - had a little patina on it, but room was clean and comfortable. Fridge & microwave. Busy area in the evening, but quiet overnight. Can walk to beach with a few restaurants very close by. I was very comfortable there. Would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is in terrible condition. Mattresses are horrendous. Breakfast is stale cereal. Jacuzzi tub does not work, and there’s no hot water any ways. And, the owner will not let you out of your reservation, even if the services offerer are falsely advertised. This was a terrible experience.
