I would highly recommend NOT staying here. There were bugs on floor and holes in the bathroom walls with mold in them. Pillow had stains on it and the door had no deadbolt lock, just the handle lock. If you wanted to keep the room key it was a $20 deposit. Felt sketchy. I ended up buying another hotel for my 2 nights that was cheaper and much cleaner/safer.

Don’t stay here
Horrible! Dirty room … holes in the wall… tv did not work. You’re required to leave a $20 cash deposit for room key. Definitely not the place to stay.

The guy that runs it is nice enough. But nothing worked except the light's. It was terribly dirty and very cramped. Oh and there is a $20 CASH deposit for the key fyi. So o had to go about half a mile to the nearest ATM to get cash.
Honestly its way overpriced for what you get.

Scary Stay
Awful. Front manager was drunk falling out of his chair the whole entire time. Trash as soon as we walked in the door of our room. Way overpriced, would not make my worst enemy pay this price for this garbage.

Lots of bugs, towels had nasty stains and what appeared to be holes from cigarette burns, bathroom door wouldn’t close, room was dirty. Redeeming factor is that it was cheap compared to any other local option!

I stayed a few hours at this Motel, after concluding that the combination of the lack of a smoke detector and presence of unspecified fumes was unsafe. Stains all over the bedding. I wanted to like this place. The location is great, even around the property. The receptionist was not the worst, he offered another room but what I experienced was a deal breaker.

Yes, the reviews are correct. Over 5 dady long legs spiders and 3 cockroaches appeared in the room, and met my shoe. The convenience is friendly staff and a parking lot. Its in an amazing location that is very close to the beach down the same street. Starbucks and gas station available near as well. Its not the cleanest but it gets the job done in a way.

This room and property was unacceptable. There were roaches, holes in the walls, and the mattress was nasty and dirty. It reeks of stale cigarettes. I literally booked another hotel and could not stay here. The locks didn’t work and there’s a creepy guy who looks out and watches your comings and goings out his door and window.
