Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
As soon as I checked I noticed stains that looked like blood on the sofa. I called the office and asked if they had another room with 2 bed and they said they didn’t. My husband took the top cover off the bed to put on the sofa so he could sleep on it because he would not let me or our daughter sleep on it. We left immediately for the day after probably 15 minutes after checking in. We got back at about 10:30 after being out for about 8 hours. That’s when we noticed the black MOLD in the bathroom. That was the last straw I have asthma bad and I could not stay in that room. I informed the front desk and they said they couldn’t refund me and they didn’t have another room. After an hour of back and forth between Expedia and the Motel I finally got a refund but not from the hotel but from Expedia. Beware people beware.

Convenient location that is close to the beach and local activities. Basic amenities, but great price comparatively! The room was cozy and I didn’t hear much noise or traffic. Walked to every planned destination for the weekend. I definitely recommend, and will stay another time.

This motel was horrible, had to request a refund. The room smelled horrible, the sheets had cigarette burns, and didn’t smell clean and had hair. The air conditioner didn’t work. And to top it off the bed felt like cardboard.
