It was nice

This was our first time staying in seven years and it now has a new management. Check-in was a breeze. We appreciated the updates however there needs to be a new stove ASAP. Everything else was fine great location!

We loved our stay at the Blue Heron Motel. Right on the beach, close to everything that you would need. It is not a new, fancy hotel (which is what we wanted). It was clean and larger than expected. The only thing I would suggest is to put some curtains on the window in case guests wanted to sleep in. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

It's not fancy, but it's a great location, fantastic beach access, nice staff, and affordable. We loved our time here. The kitchen was great and I loved sitting on the shared back deck/porch. And indoor and outdoor pools. Will definitely return.

This was a old 3 story motel, with a luggage elevator. I loved this place the minute I got in my room. I was right on the beach, it's old in a reto way. I would stay here again. The view from the third floor rooms was breath taking. Stay if you can.

Great little place on the beach.

The website showed breakfast. There was none. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom door would not shut, but was just my wife and me, but still. The view from the third floor is awesome! Location is great. Overall we had a really nice time.

I loved the location. I thought the room was clean and bright. We could have used somewhere to hang towels, hooks or racks. Also a table lamp or some kind of lower level lighting would be nice. The lights were very bright which is ok for sometime, but not all the time. We also had a little trouble parking. Could use a couple more spaces or limit guests to 1 car/room. I could tell a lot have work has been done to the hotel and it was generally very nice.
