Staff were friendly. Breakfast area was adequately clean. Did not appreciate that the hotel was pretty empty and they decided to put someone upstairs above us with a kid that was up runnning and stomping until 1am. Otherwise ok.

This was definitely the worst property I’ve stayed at. Which is only a bigger concern because it was rated 4.2/5 and listed a a 3 star resort. There was zero resemblance what so ever to the photos. Every single aspect of the room was starkly different. This trip alone has completely changed my trust in Travelocity. Every towel, and I mean all of them, were covered in hair and bugs and brown stuff. I took videos of this. There was also some random people roaming the lot at 3am. I was woken up at 8:30am by knocking at the door, I tried ignoring it since I was in bed having not got back to the hotel till around 3am. The knocking got harder and more aggressive so I thought maybe it was the police letting me know my car was broken into or something. I answered the door in my underwear and it was just housekeeping. However I was happy to ask for new towels since I couldn’t use any of the ones I had. Unfortunately since the room itself was so different incredibly from the listing and the experience was so far from the reviews. I’m not sure I trust using Travelocity anymore.

Good stay. Worth the price. It’s an old facility but well kept. A trash bin separate from a recycling bin would be nice if you recycle. Great and helpful staff from front desk to housekeeping.

We stayed here for quick trip to the beach. The location of hotel was great. The hotel itself was ok but not sure I would stay here again. Didn't have major issues with the hotel besides our door knob being semi broken. The guests that stayed same night with us were so bad. They like to stand outside and you can hear everything. It was so noisy so we didn't sleep good at all. Can hear everything above you. I also wish the employees would wear some type of uniform or even a Tshirt with hotel name. Also if you want ice, one ice machine is broken and the other, well you have to beat the people who are filling chests for fishing. Breakfast was ok.

The general experience was ok. The neighbors above were rude and partied all night for both nights. Other than that the cost per night was above average. The parking close to the building was blocked by rental carts. As partiality disabled was bad.

No frills motel.

This motel is okay if you are just looking for a place to sleep and shower. I immediately noticed that the room was warm and humid. I voiced my concern to the clerk and she put me in another room where the AC was in working order. The location is good. I booked my stay for a Sunday, the rate was slightly under $100, however, when considering booking Saturday, I noticed that the rates were drastically higher, like over $300 for a Saturday night. I travel often and this motel is definitely not worth spending over $300 a night!
