Absolute worst expererience ive ever had checking in. After an employee finally showed up a literal hour late we were given a room on the other side of the building that had a dirt path to get to. Room was half ass renovated and had heavily stained carpets and towels. Daylight was visible around a cheap retail window unit for ac. Bugs in room. Stay away from here. Go camping instead if youre tight on money. We just ate our payment for this and went to the other side of the island for a safe and clean weekend.

The room was a bit outdated, the front area had a fan that did not circulate the air so it was stuffy. One of the lightbulbs fell out since it was shaking. Other than that it was convenient to our needs.

The bathroom was nice but only and old, dirty fan light. Toilet paper roll not on wall but sitting on sink. Door had been kicked in multiple times a d not repaied. Slept with huger heavy cooler blocking door. Light in room had a broken shade and was a fire hazzard. Carpet filthy, my feet turned black. Outdoor seating was in bad shape, can i say, splinters anyone?

The room was decent, definitely not as nice as pictures portrayed. Bed was comfy. Bedding was pretty although when we we arrived, one bed didnt have a comforter. We left briefly and returned to find a comforter in a bag on the bench outside. Ac window unit was super loud but we were basically just there to sleep so I didn't mind the background noise for sleep. Bathroom was clean and towels were thick, nice quality. The door was difficult to open & shut and was very loud. The door jams & doors were pretty dirty with fingerprints everywhere.

There was no staff on the property, they just left our keys in a mailbox. This didn't feel super safe to me. We get into the room and there was at least 30 to 50 small fly type bugs, I squished up to 30 of them. The carpet, door frames and fridge look like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The beds were hard and stained, I cut my let on the side of the bed because hard knobs were sticking out. It was convenient to walk down to the beach and was nice to walk back to the shower.

The office was unmanned the entire time we were there, Fri night - Mon morning. There is a sign on the door with a number to call, but nobody you could speak to face-to-face. The hotel is dated, but clean. It cracked me up that we had a full kitchen, complete with stove. But very few dishes, I think one frying pan, and 2 spoons and 2 was it for silverware. I should have been working this weekend, but we didn’t have an internet connection. I reported it on Saturday and asked again on Sunday, but no luck… so there I was at McD’s for hours on end because I couldn’t get a refund and move to another hotel…. Nice if you just need a place to sleep, but I wouldn’t recommend if you plan to spend any time in the room.

I'm not sure why so many bad reviews. It is a simple basic place. No frills. It was clean. It was close to the beach. Owner was friendly. Beds aren't the best but we got a good nights sleep regardless. Yes the outside does have a fish smell. YOU ARE NEAR THE BEACH!! We stayed in room 5. There was plenty of hot water as soon as we realized the hot and cold were reversed. No carpet in this room so no worries about sand or anything. Fridge and freezer work great. We didn't use the stove so I cant comment on that. I will say we reserved a room with two beds. We were pleasantly surprised that they were in separate rooms. I would definitely stay again.

Everything we could ask for and more! We scan into the room upon arrival and was able to unload as soon as we got there without hassle. Bet close to the beach and the view from the balcony was pretty amazing during the fireworks. 10/10

The carpet was disgusting more stains than color showing The smell of dead fish permeated the permeated the outside of the building and the smoking from the outside permeated the interior . I’ve never felt more uncomfortable We arrived late and as I had already been charged almost $200 for the stay and was traveling with 2 little ones we stayed. There were holes in the ceiling one looked like a vent but had a roll of plastic bagels stuck up in it I made the kids keep their shoes on until they climbed up into the bed The only thing in the room that appeared to be clean

The facilities are old and in poor repair. There was no hot water in the shower, though there was hot water at the sink. The burners on the kitchenette stove were difficult to operate. The floor was cracked in front of the sink and stove, with popped nails that could have cut a bare foot. The unit was two rooms, and the AC was a single unit in the back room, so the front room stayed hot. There was no staff on site, and the person who answered the phone was surly. On the positive side, the beds were clean and comfortable, and the motel is a short walk to the beach.

Close to a public beach access and Ft. Macon. The room, although worn carpet and linens, it was clean, with a small refrigerator, microwave and a coffee machine. Our registration form and room key was in an envelope in the mailbox. A sign on the door said to sign and date the form and place back in the mailbox. A phone number was provided if we needed anything. The next morning, although the office was open, there was no one about. We used the same envelope to put the key in and left it on the desk.

We didn’t stay here after checking in. The room was hot with a small window unit in the back room. The towels were a dingy color and the shower curtain was mildewed. I couldn’t stay after a walkthrough. We stayed here many years ago and it’s not the same anymore. It’s really rundown.

The Hotel is currently being upgraded, some issues need to be looked at. Ceiling fan could not be used as it was out of balance anf shook badly if on. Plastic blinds were broken an had to use pillow cases to cover window. New locking system was installed that used a QR code from email. If the dates of your stay was entered wrong, you link to the QR Lock code was made inactive. For the price, the room was as I expected. I would stay again, hopefully the issues are corrected
