Easy check in. Hotel room very clean. Beds were comfortable. Had a nice view of ocean with balcony and comfortable chairs. Convenient and free parking. Would stay here again!
We were right on the beach for only around 200! The hot tub was nice and the views and walks were easy access. The rooms are well equipped for a fun stay and will definitely go again
Convenient location, beautiful beach just steps away. Clean room and comfortable bed. We loved it is pet friendly and were able to enjoy our stay with our dog.
Just steps away from the beach. Even my elderly mother with hip issues was able to get out on the beach. Room was nice. Having a kitchen is such a plus. Indoor pool was awesome, but the outdoor pool didn’t even look like it was being attempted to get open. It was memorial weekend… would’ve been the cherry on top if we had that access.

This is an older hotel, situated in the dunes on the beach. Rooms are spacious but dated, as would be expected. View is nice, pool is inoperable.
We just got back from a two night stay and we loved the beach front access. The rooms were clean, the beds were very comfy and the bathroom was updated nicely. What needed updating was the kitchenette (stove was GROSS so we just didn’t use it), the cabinets were dark & dingy looking and the balcony was hard to sit on to enjoy because the AC unit drain line was dripping and out take was loud. The beach view from our second floor window & balcony was Very Nice, again too bad it was too loud to sit and enjoy. The motel on the outside needed better maintaining overall. This place was good for a two night stay but not longer. Again to bad because the beach access & view from the middle rooms was very nice.
Perfect stay..lovely people and place. As soon as I arrived, I saw dolphins, beach bunnies, and a ton of birds. Hotel was extreme topnotch oceanfront. My favorite part was that this hotel is run efficiently with in a minimalist way that does not add to the heavy consumption and waste going on all around.
Beautiful very quiet peaceful place and I hope to again and again.

It was clean. Centrally located. Pools were closed. Interior was clean but exterior balcony had lots of bird poop on railings. Just not sanitary. A very 1960s/1970s feel.
Clean room. Comfortable bed. Great location. Helpful staff

The view is nice, the air conditioner worked and the bed was comfortable. The TV was good also. The room was clean. It does need some work however. the Bathroom door did not close and there were a few other minor things. Overall we had a nice stay. If everything was perfect it probably would be more expensive.
This was an amazing place to stay! I hated the pools wasn't open when we went but I understand things happen! It was a quiet pieceful place to enjoy a vacation

Disappointed that the outside pool was closed. The inside pool is colder than the ocean and not that appealing. Room was clean. Beach was right there
