The room was clean and spacious for a two queen bed hotel room. The hotel itself is outdated, but it is clean. We had an ocean front room and our view was spectacular! The pool was very nice and the tiki bar was nice for those who wanted drinks. Beds were ok. Our door mechanism broke and they were very quick to fix it. Loved that they had an elevator. Nice stay for a couple of nights.

Ocean front motel with breakfast! This super conveniently located budget friendly motel gets the job done for a beach stay. We opted for an ocean front which gives you two chairs/table to enjoy the ocean and relax. Step away from the beach, a short walk to beach for more fun. We used a local service for umbrella/chair set up. Breakfast is basic but what you would expect for the price point. Kitchen /dining is clean. The room is clean! Basic and clean but you come for the view right? Motel is winner on this quiet beach island.

The breakfast was just enough- not a complete hot breakfast but still had lots of options for just about anyone! The rooms are right on the beach and the walk to the beach is easy! Also the bar on site is amazing! Tim, the bartender, was friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend! We will stay here again

It was a nice spot. The hotel was clean and the room looked updated. Breakfast was free and it was ok. The pool was nice and the bartender was very good and enjoyable to speak to. My mattress was old and the springs were worn out. It created a pit that I rolled into all night.

6/10 Good

Pros: The room was clean and smelled fresh when we arrived. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Beach access is great. Cons: No matter how much washing off in the outdoor showers you do you are bound to still get sand inside so a broom and dustpan in each room would be very helpful as well a a handheld shower head. The outdoor pool should stay open longer with some lights outside and indoor jacuzzi really needs drained if it is broken, the water sitting in it is gross. Breakfast is mostly sugar and could really use some more protein options like eggs, meat, etc and some more fresh fruit. Beds and pillows could use an upgrade as they weren’t very comfortable.
