I made this reservation, then I saw a lot of bad reviews, and I actually tried to cancel the reservation. Then we decided we needed to be our own judges so we gave it a go. The motel is dirty on the outside, but come on, you're at the ocean and it's bound to be dirty. It could use a good scrubbing, but I imagine that is quite difficult to do on a three story building. Check in was great, the guy at the counter was super nice. I went to use my key card, it didn't want to work. I'd seen reviews of people talking about their cards not working, but it works, you just have to tap it in the absolute right spot, which takes a bit of wiggling around. Upon opening the door, it was very nice looking. We didn't have carpet, so I can't verify if the carpet smelled or was bad or stained as other reviews have said. Beds looked freshly made. The kitchen cabinets had also been redone and were very cute. Fridges were clean. The bathroom was clean, but there was no cold water in the sink, which didn't bother me, but my husband used the sink in the kitchen to brush his teeth. There were no blinds or curtains in the kitchen, but I put a few books in the window for privacy. The walls are very thin and we heard everything going on around us, including the person who coughed almost the entire night, ugh. As for beds, I thought it was comfortable, my husband thought it was firm, so don't judge a motel by the beds. Everyone's tastes are different! Be adventurous and try it for yourself as well!!!!
