2/10 Poor

We couldn’t stay here for the night due to the quality of our room and the property being dirty, neglected, and dilapidated. The only reason we booked this hotel (motel) was due to its good reviews and hot tub. However, when we arrived, our room was completely outdated and dirty. The trim was chipped and cracked, the walls were stained, and the bathroom stripping was covered in cigarette stains. When we used the sink, it backed up and chunks of unknown material came out. After the outdated gas furnace heater made a loud and weird noise, we make an executive decision to ditch. Additionally, the hot tub and pool were completely neglected. It looks like they’ve been out of service since the last big snow due to the large weeds growing everywhere. I was really looking forward to this place. The pictures and reviews make it look like a lovely, quaint spot close to the beach. We wary of many of the reviews… I’m sure some of them are fake.

4/10 Fair

Room was terrible. Room 11. Maybe others are better. No light when we entered had to stand on the bed to turn it on. No outlets near bed. The one on the west wall had a hand written taped sign saying "do not use". Furnace came on and banged loudly in the middle of the night. TV had a faded screen and would not turn off via remote. Had to unplug. Bed was ok. No front desk. Contactless entry but no email explaining. Had to call at 10p. Asked for additional coffee did not receive. Pool and hot tub were dirty and inoperable on Sept. 13th

I loved my stay here. They call you the day your stay starts to give you the code for your room. They respond quickly to texts for any issues you have. The top floor has AC units but the bottom doesn't. They do provide a fan, but it was still a little stuffy for me. The room was very clean but I did find some leftover toothpaste on the bottom of a clear cup. I texted the manager and he brought us new cups right away. The lamp in between the beds didn't work. There were some cosmetic issues (i.e. holes/markings/shower leaking) but nothing to cause alarm. I believe it's just an old building that they'll fix up throughout time. It really is a pleasant stay. The beds were very comfortable. Closest beach is less than a 10 minute walk with so many activities for the water (jet skis/boats/parasailing). We even walked to another beach in less than 30 minutes. Food options are less than a 10 minute walk as well as shopping. Plenty of parking. You can text them to ask for more towels or room service and they respond quickly and do an amazing job. The price for the room was very reasonable. I would definitely stay again.

Good location, easy self-parking, mini-fridge and microwave oven in the room, the only issue was that the temperature in the room was bit high during night time.

Sam and his wife are very helpful and responsive . I also like the keyless entry. We did our check in with our phone. I wish that they are more flexible on the check in time. We got there at three o’clock and had to wait in the parking lot

Good location but lacking the extra effort.
Great location and we enjoyed our stay well enough. There were looks of little things that should/could be addressed. Nothing huge but all together it was worth noting. Definitely felt like a safe area and was conveniently located.

The pool and hot tub were not operational. I wish properties wouldn't advertise a pool when they don't really have one. :( Other than that, this place was great. The staff was very friendly and always available, the room was very nice, and the ambiance outside was great. We played cornhole and used the outside tables for games. Walkable to coffee, restaurants, and the beach. I'll stay here again. I just won't bother packing my swimsuit.
