Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I was a bit taken back by this place, as we expected more for the price point. The lady who checked us in was nice, but the room was not up to acceptable cleaning standards. The bathtub had a couple of dead bugs in it upon arrival, The hand soap was watered down so bad, I had to get my own soap for handwashing. On the first night, we were going to sit outside in the gazebo and bbq area, however the garbage bins were right beside this area of the building and they were overflowing with garbage, and I mean overflowing. The two bins were completely full and there were garbage bags all around the bins. The garbage bags on the ground had actually been torn open, most likely by rodents. For our entire stay, we slept on top of the blankets and I barely slept, because I felt like my skin was crawling. I could not wait to get out of that room. The only good thing about this place is the free mini golf across the street: This was way overpriced. The parking lot is also a nightmare if you have a truck.

Cute Motel by the Water

It was perfect for what we needed. Somewhere to rest our head for two nights while visiting some family in the area. The hospitality was the best I have come across. Everyone was so friendly and pleasant to chat with. It is an older property that has been renovated and in a great location. We would definitely here again.

Really a great location by the beach and with plenty of parking. An added bonus was the smallest package that we were given to Use on the fire pits round by the side of the hotel and the free pass to the crazy Eagles next door. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The air-conditioning was slightly noisy but overall not problematic. The service was always met with a smile.
