8/10 Good

"Our stay was honestly much better than expected. It’s one of the very rare times that the pictures of the room and property did not represent the quality of the room. Our expectations were unfortunately low, but once we arrived we were very pleased with our choice. The couch appeared broken upon arrival, but was not the end of the world for our stay. Mold in the back room’s ceiling was also present but with it being so close to the beach, we understood that it’s inevitable at some point or another. Me as well as friends that stayed would definitely recommend this motel. When checking notifying of a late check out, I was promptly responded to with a understanding message of take your time and let us know when you’re out which was greatly appreciated. A great experience. Thanks so much for the hard work!!"
