It's exactly what you expect and a good price for the area. Room stay nice and cold with the air conditioner. The balcony on the Upper Floor was really nice to have. Not much to it very simplistic and the front desk staff was great

You get exactly what you pay for. It wasn’t “clean clean”, but for $60 a night with a seawall view, we will be returning. The family staff was very friendly and we felt safe. Thank you so much!

It was clean, the AC worked fine and parking was ok. Some minor things that we observed were no toilet paper holder, bathtub shower faucet dripping constantly, no closet or hook to hang clothes on and no regular pillows on the bed, but the decorative ones were comfortable and no Kleenex. Also, had to get someone from the office to set up the TV and if you turned it off, you had to have someone come set it up again.

This place is in a really great location across from an Italian restaurant and right next door to several bars. The staff was super friendly and the view was perfect. It's nothing fancy but if you just want to hang out at the beach it's perfect

Value for the price

It has so much potential to be great! The hotel was very fun down, But it’s the value for the price. Staff was friendly and we had everything we needed for an overnight stay.

I am grateful for everything,The people at the front desk are nice, family Feeling , the room looked dark needs more lighting, under the bathroom sink there was lots of mold it was black :/ the shower was good , no breakfast , please bring your own towels and blanket to sleep ..Is close to the beach..I like the cats :) They do not let you check out later than 11:00 ;/ when you get to the motel it does not look very nice from the outside, and I felt little unsafe if you have children with you , but at night they have lot of light inside , it was not the worse motel I guess .. the tv worked fine. The fridge worked , the AC does not stop all night :/ and after staying there my nose hurts is like an infection I guess .. probably the mold and the AC not sure , 1 night is ok..:) the price was ok ..always thankful:)

If it wasn't for the ocean view I would have asked for a refund. The room was very dirty, toilet, bathroom and floors. Beds and towels were clean. Staff was nice. For 100$ I was very disappointed to have to clean it up! They need better housekeeping!
