6/10 Good

Subpar at Best
Great location. Room smelled like mold. Told the staff and they did nothing and offered nothing since they were sold out. Took a bath and the water had a slight brown color to it… You can hear people walking around above and around you. You can hear dogs wining and barking since they are allowed onsite. I would never stay here again.

Always
Stayed here last year also and both times we had such a good time. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Had an issue with our code to get in and they were there to handle it within 5 min, had a clogged toilet and it was fixed quickly. Were we’re also there for the tropical storm that hit really bad and the crew was there cleaning up afterwards.

4/10 Fair

They would not let us check in before 4:00 pm, which would not have been a problem but the motel was less than half occupied. We did not see a single staff person our entire stay. Everything was done by text message. Our shower was not clean, we took photos as soon as we entered the room. Not satisfied to say the least.

Excellent little beach motel! Not fancy but who needs fancy when you have the ocean steps away? Room was clean and staff was kind. This motel is location is steps away from food and fun. Have stayed here before and will stay here again.

Shabby and not accessible, but gorgeous view
I did not appreciate having to walk up so many flights of stairs to reach our room, however the view was excellent. There was a slight musty odor to the room, but other than that everything was fine.
