The motel was great for what it was. You know you aren't paying for a 4 Star hotel, so you can't expect that level. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, there was a pool and plenty of parking. That was all I needed and expected!

It is a clean and friendly place. Pool is very clean. However , location is bit too close to the road- you will hear vehicles so if you are light sleeper- it may bother you. But for the price- it is a good stay

The motel was small, well-maintained, very convenient and the staff were fantastic! The rooms were clean and well-equipped. The parking was easy and so convenient to leave your beach stuff in the car and not need to carry up to the room. Just a few buildings from the beach and the pool area was also nice. Overall great experience and deal and we will definitely stay here again!

So much care is taken to keep the property nice. Rooms are a nice size. Shower has great pressure. Only 3 drawers so if you are staying for a week be prepared to live out of your suitcase. Would rather no stove and another dresser personally. But pool is great, rooms are great, a truly wonderful property!

We only spent one night as we were in town for a wedding. Our room was very neat and clean. The decor was beachy cute. The staff was excellent. We were greeted by a very friendly front desk. Clothing items were left in the room after check out and the front desk called us and held the items. Overall great experience! Wish we had more time to spend there and hope to return again.

Typical motel so don’t expect the Ritz! We booked here because of the reviews. The beds, pillows, and bedding are super comfortable. Unlike some places, housekeeping does wash and replace the bedspreads after each customer as we witnessed it. The rooms are big. We had two dinette tables and comes with fullly equipped kitchen. The pool area is nice and it’s clean! There is an extra $10 fee for extra guests. My daughter was supposed to stay with us on the last evening but ended up staying with friends. My only issue is when I went down to the office to have it removed, the lady on day shift (6/7) told me to come back when I check out on 6/9 but we knew it was going to be a busy morning and wanted to take care of it prior to check out. I waited in line for 15 mins and she ended up helping the next customer behind me, she seemed a little . The next day I went to see Len and he took care of the refund in just one minute. I was pleased with his friendliness and customer service.

The room was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable.The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you need. There weren't any napkins but we went to the office and grabbed some. The a/c worked really well. The pool was nice and well maintained. The staff were all friendly and helpful. My only complaint was the noise. It's right next to a very busy road, and I couldn't sleep without ear plugs.

While Im not necessarily a fan of motels, this is absolutely the best motel I've ever stayed at. Having a full size fridge, stove, and oven saves so much money on dining. They thought of everything from the pots and pans to a dish towel and dish detergent! Its a very short walk to the beach, right on the strip, parking is free (as it should be but you'd be surprised), and the pricing is a huge plus. I would definitely recommend to those who are looking for something clean, affordable, and close to the beach.

I will by no means call this a five star resort, however the staffs attentiveness and personality was excellent and for the price it was above expectations. I would suggest this for a 4 member family on a budget or a couple just looking for a place to lay their heads.

It is a very nice hotel that is walking distance from the beach (about two blocks away). The beach area nearby is also very nice. I prefer it to the beach by the boardwalk as it is quieter. It is also walking distance from many restaurants, and the staff are very nice. I had a great stay and want to come back!
