Location was good. Would not consider it a resort. It is a average motel with a great tiki bar. Staff was great. A self serve coffee bar would have been good a long with microwave in the rooms.

Although an older property, the rooms and motel grounds are clean. The pool area is fantastic with lots of seating areas throughout. The restaurant is next to the pool and you can swim right up to the bar! Front desk is super accommodating and welcoming. Close to all kinds of dining options and not far from the water.

My Husband and I really enjoyed our time here! Staff were so sweet and accommodating! We had so much fun and will certainly be making a trip here yearly. Meghan, the front desk staff was an absolute delight! She was so sweet, friendly, and understanding/accommodating to our needs the entire time we were there. She would check in on us every couple of days. She is wonderful!

Affordable and Comfy Bed in great Cape location.

Megan was amazing. We had to have a suoer late check in. She texted instructions for opening a lock box, had our keys, a map where our room was and wifi code. The room had a fabulous mattress sooooo comfy, 5 pillows a nice white comforter and the room was chilled to perfection. A nice mini fridge, hair dryer, separate toiler room and shower and sinks outside the bathroom door to make them accessible for two people getting ready. The sling chairs were comfy. My only complaint would be no reading lamp by the comfy chairs. Great value and location.

Overall, it was a good place to stay. The lobby does not stay open past 4 (first issue...what place has a lobby that closes at 4pm). The keys were in a lock box and when opening the door, there was a naked man in bed. It took a while to find someone who could help but finally got in the correct room...even though it was connected to the room with the naked man in it. The next morning moved rooms and had another issue the next night (did not check everything when got to the room) when there was no remote for the tv. Went to the Tiki Bar (which is affiliated with the hotel...same owner) and asked the bartender who could help. She asked the manager and the manager said "not my f'ing problem". Apparently, the person that is supposed to help out at night (found out next morning he lives on premises) sits in bar and smokes/drinks all day and was nowhere to be found that night. A remote is not a huge issue, and got one the next morning, but again, the manager was useless and rude. The front-end manager was very helpful (when there...not her issue), the rooms were cleaned daily and they did a great job, the bartenders especially Julie (dark hair) and Joe Joe were great. If not for the manager...his lack of care, rudeness and poor management it was not a bad place at all. He needs to go...TODAY (wait, long ago)!!!
