Comfort Room

The hotel is a great stay. Like a little studio apartment. Welcoming with its fireplace as well. But the hotel does show its age with a need of maintenance. Such as chipped paint and a need of caulk on the bathroom. A full size fridge and utilities really help the comfort. The bed is sturdy. But it was clean.

It is a very old and run down motel. However, the location is great and at least the bed was comfortable. But for $250 a night, very overpriced for what the place is. Needs some TLC and a makeover

Staff was super friendly. The hotel location was a short walk to the beach. Dog friendly hotel. Room was spacious and clean. Easy to drive to restaurants. We walked our dog at night and felt safe. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location

The location was great. The room was not great. We had a busted window (and screen), half-used shampoo, paint tape on the closet wall, cable wires running on the ceiling like in college, a missing lightbulb, a missing cover on the ceiling fan, and the worst part was sunlight peeping through a window with no shade at 5:30am. How many days do I get to sleep in?

Great location, nice staff, room needs some old

Location is great. Staff was friendly and it was clean. However, the room was just really dated. Warped floors, lumpy mattress, chipped furniture, etc. felt like a hotel that was flipped about 10 years ago and needs another renovation.

Basic but clean, simple budget motel style property right across street from beach by a block. If you don’t plan in staying in your room and just need a basic clean room to crash this place works great.
