Customer Reviews
Our room was clean, and check in/out was painless. For the very low price we paid this was a great *_off-season_* accommodation. When we visited, we found the indoor pool had been closed for a number of years, but this was not advertised on the listing, and ended up being a minor disappointment. The overall condition/upkeep is somewhat lacking, but this is forgivable given the off-season room price and availability. The ocean view from the 3rd floor is pretty good, the off-season sunrise/sets were beautiful. If you want to see the ocean, I highly recommend against floors 1 and 2. The location is really great in terms of distance to food and local attractions.
Date of stay: 1/17/2026|Price per night: $59 plus tax = $77||This motel offers great beach views, which was the main reason we chose it. We stayed on the second floor in Room 7, and the room itself was spacious and clean. The furniture is outdated, but that’s exactly what I expected from an older beachfront hotel exposed to salty air. If I owned a MOTEL on the beach, I wouldn’t put fancy furniture in rooms just to have it ruined.||The bathroom was small, but that didn’t bother me—I don’t spend my vacations in the bathroom. The hotel is older, though there have been some renovations; our bathroom had clearly been updated.||There was a broom and dust pan in our room. Which was needed when we came back from our walk on the beach.||The bed was firm, with three pillows on each bed, which were d
went to on for the first time last yr during the 4th of july. we loved the location and view, the rooms are very average, you get exactly what’s in the photos. we had no issues getting extra towels. the only complaint i have is that the stairs were a workout if you get a 3rd floor room, but the view makes up for it! they also had a luggage thing that could move your luggage to the 3rd story so you didn’t have to carry it. kinda like a tiny elevator for luggage. we took our kids (toddlers) and it was nice. they also have two outdoor pools, and an indoor pool and a hot tub. all very nice. great stay we’ve already booked for this year!
Positive: Unbelievable ocean views third floor up warning do not go first floor second floor dunes are too high for a what we would call and ocean view it is true ocean front but all you'll be looking at is the pool and beautiful sand dunes Negative: No elevators both me and my wife are still mobile she is on a walker though and back why should people of all bodies better not equipped to take stairs be punished.
Enjoyed the size of the bed and having a balcony. It was convenient having a kitchen. Great location. Nice amenities with indoor pool and hot tub, but was dark. The bathroom was too small. No walk-in shower. The stairs were old and in need of repairs. There is no elevator or handicapped ramps to higher floors. The balcony could be screened because the deck chairs were either sandy or dirty. Need rugs because sand tracked in room from everywhere. The storm door's screen was torn. Had pots and plates, but no silverware or glasses. Could have been a little cleaner.
