The room was very spacious and clean. It felt like staying in a mini two bedroom apartment. The only “issue” was the front door was hard to open/shut so it was loud trying to get in and out. Other than that no complaints. The pool area was nice. The price was budget friendly, I definitely recommend this motel.

Hotel si under construction and it looks like they are remodeling everything. The rooms on the water are not rentable at this time due to remodel. There was maybe one that was finished. I think they are working hard to bring the property back to former glory but they have a way to go. Rooms were clean but very basic bedrooms. The upper decks need repair. Staff were very nice and helpful.

We reserved an oceanfront room. Got there no oceanfront rooms available. Downgraded to a room across the street. Parking lot view. 4 days watching a septic field being installed. Had to drive 2 miles to find a beach. There oceanfront won't be available for weeks because of sand erosion project by the Govt. They are still advertising oceanfront rooms on your website. Thank you for letting me vent.

There is no beach front due to erosion. Ocean view? - the ocean was going under the motel. Could not regulate room temperature and windows would not open to catch the ocean breeze. Floor by entrance door was damaged , lifted, cracked and soft. Don’t let the website pictures fool you!

No beach front, just ocean, low tide
