The room was not really clean. If I walked barefoot, my feet turned black. I stayed 4 days and my room was cleaned twice. That said the employees were lovely. The motel is .3 miles from the Village and walking distance from everything. The nearby beach is super accessible. I prob would stay there again but maybe bring a Swiffer wet jet.

I had my doubts when I saw the motel due to its age but everything worked in the room as expected and the room and bed was comfortable. It’s just a couple of blocks from the village area so you can walk everywhere.

Will get the job done for 1 night stay. Will honestly just fork up extra money for somewhere else next time. Unfortunately room reeked of cigarettes and was incredibly small as well. Again got the job done since it’s very close to the village but would recommend elsewhere. Also they will not hold your bags for you if you wished to walk around before your flight, huge FYI
