Not great, not awful

It was decently clean but dated and the room smelled kinda musty. Like it hadn’t been opened all season. Price was high considering what you get. If I had paid 120 instead of 175 this would be 4 stars.

We were visiting our daughter so the location was important. We found that having a kitchenette was wonderful since we didn’t have a car. The kitchenette was a little outdated and the bathroom didn’t have a lot of space to put toiletries. We would stay here again the next time we visit.

Location, location, location! You can walk out the back of the hotel and straight onto the beach. While the bed was good, as was the bathroom/shower, the room was desperately in need of refurbishment. However everything was just functional and when combined with the low cost we paid it was worth it for the location.

Very disappointed

This motel is very old. Needs much maintenance. Our balcony door would not shut and when it did you couldn’t open it. No shower curtain until the 2nd day. Bed was comfy, but I am pretty sure they were standard double and not a queen. No ice unless you went next door and paid 6$. Very run down. I will not stay here again

This place has very good accommodations. Quiet - couldn’t hear any sound from adjacent rooms. It has easy and ADA friendly access to the beach. The unit was very clean and had great views of the beach, the pier, and the Gulf. The kitchenette was convenient for preparing breakfast and had good sized refrigerator, dinnerware, and cookware. Our stay was very pleasant.
