I like the separate sleeping areas, did not like the tiny bathroom and the bathroom sink was stopped up with slow drainage. The air conditioner unit was in the separate bedroom with only a fan in the main area causing it to be very hot when closing the door to the bedroom area. The pool was nice and clean and the beach was walking distance. No extra pillows for he sofa bed, only 2 sheets and pillow cases. The receptionist at check in was really nice.

The room was very small, difficult for two people to get around in. The toilet seat was lose, the alarm clock didn’t work, and one bedside lamp had a bad bulb.

I booked a room for 2 people. It was SUPER small and the bathroom was even smaller. The sink was the size of a cereal bowl (which just splashed water everywhere when washing your hands or brushing your teeth) and the toilet was so close to the shower, you had to put your feet in the shower when sitting on the toilet. The lights flickered and one in the bathroom didn’t even turn on. The air conditioner was so loud that it kept us up all night turning off and on every hour. The walls are super thin that you could hear everything outside and there was a slice in the door which let in light (and who knows what else) from outside. There was not a rug in the entrance so dirt/sand was easily tracked in. Parking was a HUGE issue as there were no available spots when we came back for the night. I felt that there were more rooms than parking spots. We had to park in front of a tree which wasn’t even a parking spot. The room smelled like cigarettes and felt dingy. The only plus was that it was within a mile or two of the boardwalk and shops near the beach! The pictures were so deceiving! For the price, I was very disappointed.

Upon arrival after 4.5 hours of driving with a 6 year old, getting in around midnight, we found little to no parking. The spots are so narrow that there are nearly inches between you and another vehicle. Our first night we had to go around the parking lot 4 times to find a spot to fit our small suv in. Because it was at night, it made it more difficult. This caused us to avoid leaving by car for any destination at all costs throughout our stay with the fear of losing a decent spot. In addition, while the motel is esthetically pleasing, there were several issues in quality of maintenance. For example, lamps that are in the wall by the beds were falling off and you could not turn them on. The only light option was the ceiling light. The window in the bathroom was poor. Looked like it had a weird film over it or painted over. It also looked like it wasn’t properly sealed at the bottom or unable to close. There was a huge spot on the wall near the AC where a leak may have been, wood floors were separating towards that area of the room as well. Front door was not sealed properly so heat would come in at the top. In addition, we never saw a single staff member. Cynthia was very pleasant on the phone to confirm our room. We did text about an issue with yellow jackets flooding the front door (due to them liking a palm tree) and I did hear them spray. I did complain about the parking with zero response. I could go on but there’s no room left to type.

This property was our first complete let down from Expedia reviews. The photos posted are absolutely nothing like the room we were given. There is NOTHING remodeled in room 2. Loose metal transitions that would be dangerous for a child for sure. 1 window air conditioner in a room with a filthy floor fan to move air to front room. I had to ask for something to clean the fan as it was blowing huge chunks of dirt across the room. Rusted bathroom fixtures. Frozen over fridge/freezer that smelled like rotten meat. The couch was so filthy we had to use a sheet to cover it before we could sit on it. This place is a dump. It does appear room 18 and up are possibly updated, but do not accept 1-17 for sure. There’s not even a rug to wipe your feet so you carry in all the sand and dirt from your feet right to where you sleep. The only plus to this place is the walk to the beach is only 5 mins across street. We would not stay in this hotel again for any reason at all.

Road trip stop one

Room was ready early just when I needed to get out of sun. Easy automated checkin and checkout. Nice and chilly and a super firm comfortable bed. Bathroom tiny and dated but just fine for the price.
