Overall the property was nice and quiet but I do think if your going to have a front desk that it open 9-6 and no one is in there it makes it harder to ask questions

The motel needs a large amount of updating, the bathroom shower had tape in the corners, tile floors were cracked, radiator was missing the front shield and full of dust and cobwebs, some blankets had stains and rips in them.

Small but cute property a quick walk to the beach. Upon arrival at 4 pm we met the owner ann who was very nice. The space was a great size but the shower was to dirty to use without sandles and the ac was not encased in the window fully which let bugs into the room.

The room looked exactly like it was pictured. We were sent our unit number and key code before we arrived. So when we arrived, we just went in. We had one problem with our key code after we had used it. We sent a text message and it was fixed immediately. Will definitely be going back!

It was a good stay. Did not like the $35 nonrefundable charge, which is unreasonable by my standard. Stayed in hundreds of hotels throughout the world never seen this type of unreasonable charge before. Many hotels placed "accidental/damages/theft holds" on the customers' credit cards but usually refunded them after their stay.

Our stay went very well overall, and everything listed in the description was present upon arrival. The location is convenient and the hotel is pleasantly quiet, which we greatly appreciated. However, the room could have been cleaner — there was still toilet paper in the bowl when we arrived, which suggests a lack of attention to detail during housekeeping. Additionally, several features in the room are outdated and in need of maintenance, such as the main window blind, which was broken and let in too much light. For these reasons, I unfortunately cannot give a 5-star rating — or even 4 stars — despite the good aspects of our stay.
