Janmere Motel

Janmere Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean rooms and loved the outdoor pool was there on the 4th of July weekend so it was very busy just wish they assigned parking to each of the rooms due to handicapped people it has two floors I paid for a suit with a full size fridge and had a microwave and a little kitchenette and I was on the bottom floor so if you are handicapped I would definitely ask for a bottom room. Definitely close to the beach and we could see the fireworks from the parking lot the beach was so busy I heard there were over 50,000 people it was crazy (when we drove by we stupidly left and drove to Walmart at 8 when we got back thank god they just started the fire works). So we didn’t miss them. Also they were great and had a cookout on the fourth for the motel guests we will definitely try to come next year we had a great time."
