    Found gnats, roaches, and silverfish. Leaking toilet supply line (was fixed later on first day), water dripping from ceiling during rains, gap under entry door an inch high that could allow insects entry, cold water shower, slow draining bathroom sink, parking was on the street and first come first serve, television connection failed multiple times. Shower tile work was amateurish with cracked and mostly missing grout, exposing edges to my sensitive feet. I don't mind that this is an older property, and staff were friendly and helpful otherwise, but conditions were less than satisfactory.

    Great bed. Ac was good too. The counters were all wet.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Dirty place, yellow stains on the bed and sheets, hair everywhere including the bed, sink, and shower. The owner was nice enough to let us switch rooms, but no one was able to sleep after that. Spent $150 for one night. Should’ve shopped around a bit more. There’s better hotels for that price imo.

    I got 2 rooms and neither of them had and hot water what so ever. The a/c in 1 room didn't work at all. The refrigerator in the other room didn't work at all. I'm a bigger guy and I literally could not fit threw the opening "maybe 12" given to enter the shower at all. Honestly this place is bottom of the mill trash motel.

    Feeling , the room looked dark needs more lighting, under the bathroom sink there was lots of mold it was black :/ the shower was good , no breakfast , please bring your own towels and blanket to sleep ..Is close to the beach..I like the cats :) They do not let you check out later than 11:00 ;/ when you get to the motel it does not look very nice from the outside, and I felt little unsafe if you have children with you , but at night they have lot of light inside , it was not the worse motel I guess .. the tv worked fine. The fridge worked , the AC does not stop all night :/ and after staying there my nose hurts is like an infection I guess .. probably the mold and the AC not sure , 1 night is ok..:) the price was ok ..always thankful:)

    It was clean, the AC worked fine and parking was ok. Some minor things that we observed were no toilet paper holder, bathtub shower faucet dripping constantly, no closet or hook to hang clothes on and no regular pillows on the bed, but the decorative ones were comfortable and no Kleenex. Also, had to get someone from the office to set up the TV and if you turned it off, you had to have someone come set it up again.

    The owners are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful views, half the price. It's nothing fancy, but it's safe and cozy

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Disgusting, the room had so many roaches and the bathroom was not cleaned.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    the room was nice, the bed was soft, and the walking distance from the beach was great! View was great as well. Will definitely stay here again! One of the tenants allowed their dog to defecate on the porch and it smelled

    Unexpected situation

    Bad

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    It's exactly what you expect and a good price for the area. Room stay nice and cold with the air conditioner. The balcony on the Upper Floor was really nice to have. Not much to it very simplistic and the front desk staff was great

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Staff was not very friendly beds are way to hard and they will not give extra pillows

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The only positive part of my experience was one staff member who was kind and helpful, but unfortunately, that alone doesn’t make up for the overall condition of the room and facilities. I would not recommend anyone to stay here.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Parking was super easy to figure out and we loved being able to look out our big window and seeing our car and the beach ac and heater worked great staff was super friendly all in all was a great experience here

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    You get exactly what you pay for. It wasn’t “clean clean”, but for $60 a night with a seawall view, we will be returning. The family staff was very friendly and we felt safe. Thank you so much!
