We had a great stay with our family (2 children under 9). Beach view and super easy access to beach and beach bar at place. Would recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were updated and comfortable. Bar is right on beach. Bartenders were great. Theoutside of the motel could use some updating. The streaming setup they use with their tvs is terrible. Nothing plays continuously. It wouldve been nice to be able to watch the world cup games while changing from beach attire to evening attire.

2/10 Poor

We were disappointed. Some rooms looked better than others but ours was worn out and and had old, loud air conditioning that hung right over the bed and a loud industrial fan of some sort kicking on outside our window during the night. Add the constant music playing from the bar most of the day until 1am. This place is not quiet. If you want to sit at their beachside bar, this is the place for you. It is giant and right on the water but it overshadows their small beach so if that’s not your scene, stay somewhere else. The staff was very helpful.

8/10 Very good

Overall our stay was very good. The room was clean, bright white towels and bedding was clean. This was our 1st time staying here. The only drawback was power outage when using the AC and blow dryer in our room #5. The fuse popped and the staff resolved very quickly. I recommend adding another fuse for the AC so this doesn’t occur. It would’ve been great to have a small Keurig machine for coffee & tea. But that isn’t a deal breaker for us! We will be back again next July for my Mom’s birthday celebration. 😊

We definitely had a good view of the beach and the room was spotless. so why 4 stars instead of 5. There were no soap dishes in the shower. the shower enclosure was very clean and very stylish - it's just those soap dishes that were missing

6/10 Good

Great location. Staff was good except for the owner, he was questioning me about having alcoholic in my cooler at the beach which was not so bad but he explained to me that it had to do with a liquor license issue, as he was explaining that to me I witnessed multiple people drinking alcohol from coolers and a party of approximately 8-10 people making mix drinks out in the open with visible bottles of wine. Talk about feeling singled out, wow!….clean over all but mold in shower.

8/10 Very good

The rooms are modern and clean with good AC a mini fridge and cable TV. They provide plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner and 2 bars of soap in the bathroom. There is no place to hang clothes which was unfortunate, we had to hang things from the towel rack in the bathroom (not ideal) and there was a cigarette disposal thing outside our door (yuck) but i can say that the room smelled very clean. There was a little noise from the people in the room above us. I would have also appreciated if there were curtains and not just mini blinds, the room was VERY Bright in the morning. The location is perfect, its steps from the beach with nice beach views from the room. The beach bar is nice and it wasn’t too loud. The beach was pretty crowded the first day but not as bad the second. There are a number of places to eat and drink within walking distance. The staff really did a great job keeping the place clean, they were sweeping the decks/stairs a few times in the 2 days we were there. Not related to the hotel but there are no UBERS in the area.
