Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
