Close to the beach!

The owners were incredibly nice. Quick check-in, short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay! The ONLY thing that bothered me was the carpet in the room. It was definitely very old and dirty. It didn’t impact our stay, we just wore our shoes inside.

We woke up and decided it was a beach day. Most of our visits are long so we book in advance for a longer stay. This is a perfect place for a night or two and a place to rest your head. Glad we chose it! For an older motel, its just what we needed for a day at the beach. Its a couple of short blocks from the beach (4 minute walk), its clean, very friendly staff, and everything you need for food and fun is in walking distance including a pier. Definitely will use this place again for those random overnight trips.

The room was clean. No bugs and no bedbugs..we checked. Pool was clean. Plenty of towels. Staff was great. the motel is older soo..its not a 5 star hotel but its walking distance to beach and very very affordable. We would stay again. We knew the motel was older so we expected older.

Room smelled of extreme dampness and cigarette smoke from people smoking outside the room. Old and outdated is an understatement.

Unfavorable stay for our anniversary.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Too many issues to list. Look further and this is not the one.

I will stay at this hotel again, it was noisy inside and out. Could sleep very well, the hotel put a family on the second floor over us with a kid that played with a ball bouncing on the floor I let the hotel know an they wanted me to go knock on their door while he calls them. That sets the stage for problems. The kid didn’t stop and hotel did nothing.

Room smelled like cat pee. No electrical outlet in bathroom. TV did not work. Responded quickly and brought another TV but this also stopped working. Pool was dirty. Manager was very nice.

Don't stay here.

Three words-Don't stay here. Nasty place, smelled moldy, dirty, bathroom was atrocious, rusty pipes and all plumbing hanging out of the wall. Sink so small you couldn't wash your hands without soaking the floor. Could have cried when first seeing the room. A drunk fell down the steps as we went to room. At two AM a loud, drunk, obnoxious woman and her two men decided to be philosophical outside our window. No answer when we called office to complain. Husband wanted to confront them but this is how todays headlines are made so thankfully he didn't. Horrible experience. The only saving grace was the 4 Corners Diner where we had a most awesome breakfast wth the sweetest waitress ever. Went back for dinner and had another wonderful waitress.

Disappointed

This is definitely a "no frills" establishment, which we knew when making the reservation. It would have been a good weekend for using the pool, BUT it was obvious the pool hadn't been cleaned since last summer season and there were TONS of bugs floating, dead on top of the water. The room was clean on the surface but definitely has mold hiding somewhere possibly under the newer carpet. All 3 of us had issues with breathing throughout the night but never when we weren't in the room. A plus... you can't hear voices or anything even with no vacancy but the unit above us had kids who ran back and forth for 2 hours (8:30-10:30 pm) (the room isn't even that big for running that much). When we called the front office after an hour of the pounding feet above us, we were told "to expect it from now until at least 12. there are no other rooms, so I can't move you" (we never wanted to be moved, nor asked to be moved). He never even offered to go by the room for us to say something to the adults (no phones in the room, so he really wasn't going to bother going to their door.)

Stayed 8/11-14 paid $423.75. Upon check in, I requested when pool would be available & was informed 8/12. I requested money off if not available since it is an amenity I paid for, to which Dave Ratia offered $20 off per night. But, first he informed me "There's an ocean" and I shared how unacceptable that statement was. I also agreed & offered to pay full price for rest of days if/when pool is ready. Upon checkout, I told Dave the AC doesn't work. He expressed his lack of awareness of the matter (of any issues with the facility), and wanted to know why i "stay 3 days and now something". Unbeknownst to him, the night of 8/12, multiple guests sat outside their rooms bonding over the many different issues in rooms, almost all complaining of the AC concerns.I did not think the AC would be a continual problem, but was hopeful the pool would help us cool off. There wasn't one time we saw anyone working on the pool, and it was definitely not ready at checkout 8/14. After Dave's unprofessional comments, without holding any accountability for his facility, he began making comments of "you people" and continued insulting me with stating how Im trying to get a free stay & I needed to leave. I informed him that I would leave the office once I've taken all my notes of this experience and obtained all legal information possible to report this. He called the local authorities since I would not leave the cold office with a fan but by the time they arrived I had already left his "office" due
