Typical beach town motel
This motel is a pretty typical beach town motel. I would say it’s not as pictured, the property is pretty run down. The pool wasn’t very well kept and the hot tub was closed. The service and breakfast was decent.

Affordable Comfort
A comfortable, basic motel that was family friendly.
Breakfast was simple but sufficient with some hot items and waffles.
Pool is heated and beds were sufficient.
Be sure not to leave valuables in your car and always lock your door.

Everything about our stay was perfect. I would recommend that if you stay here make sure to get a room further away from the stairs.

The staff at the hotel was very friendly and nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. We did notice noise from the people above us and others going in and out of rooms at night, but it did not bother our children’s sleep. Parking was a little tough because the hotel was full, and the only spaces left were for compact cars. We squeezed in the space, but we think one guest had to crawl out the back of their car. Overall it was very comfortable, especially for the price. We would stay here again.

Trash the trashy couch... ***** for the rest.
I walked into the room, and only saw a really ratty sofa. "Is this a hide-a-bed?" Happily no. It was just a terrible couch. Just around the partition was a wonderful 'bedroom'! Great shower and BR amenities. New appliances all around. But trash that couch! It's a spine crusher!
