4/10 Fair

Clean room but horrible druggy motel
The room was fine but we were next to druggies. The lady was on the phone late at night and early in the morning fussing, cussing and yelling and also yelling at a guy with her. Horrible. I guess that’s what you pay for. If you’re trying to budget, expect those kinds of people there. Seems like they stay there for awhile.

Motel not hotel, but clean and affordable!
Courteous service, great price, close to shopping and not far from the beach. This is a motel like place, not a hotel. So clean but old, no special services you might expect at hotels vs motels.

Juliah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very disappointed.
The information given about the hotel was very deceiving. There was no hot coffee or tea provided in the lobby all day, long or in the evening. cheap coffee was provided in the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. You can feel the springs The rooms smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. The rooms were so outdated. The outlets did not work in the bathroom and the bedroom area. I had paid all the fees for the hotel room, but the hotel receptionist charge me the fees again. The location was excellent very close to the beach.

Inn has a swimming pool. Place is old but still decent and the room has a microwave and a frig. It is decent because it has the basic amenities for a stay.

Carmen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Affordable Stay with Room for Improvement
I found this place to be very affordable, and overall, it was a great experience. The only concern I had was a noticeable smell of cigarettes, which could be improved by implementing a no-smoking policy. Aside from that, it felt safe and welcoming. Considering the price, it was definitely a worthwhile stay!

I stay here every time I’m in the area. The front desk staff is friendly yet professional. Rooms are always clean. And I’ve enjoyed laying out by the tool.
