It was nice for the price but only the hot water worked in the bathroom sink and bathroom was REALLY SMALL. Workers were nice and helpful though.

This was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed! It smelled funky and the shower curtain! There was a rusty baking pan being used as a tray under the coffee maker. Some dirty stain on one of the bedspreads, the floor was nice new tile in a dark plank style but it was filthy! I took a dry towel to the floor to get sand and dirt pushed to doorway and wet a bath towel to push around to clean floor which made towel the color of coffee! It looks nothing like the pictures! I can handle old and out dated places, but lack of cleaning, and upkeep on a regular basis is not what I expected to get for $250.00 a night!!!

Didn’t stay here more than 5 mins! Dirty sheets and towels. Air conditioner leaked and had a tray to catch the water that slowed dripped down the wall by the electrical outlet. Oh and there was a dead cockroach on the bathroom floor. Absolutely gross!!

The restroom had a lot of hair in it, very long hairs that wouldn't be hard to miss. The carpet wasn't clean either, I drop an unopened brevege on the ground and when I picked it up; there were many hairs on it from different people.

The owners were incredibly nice. Quick check-in, short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay! The ONLY thing that bothered me was the carpet in the room. It was definitely very old and dirty. It didn’t impact our stay, we just wore our shoes inside.

We woke up and decided it was a beach day. Most of our visits are long so we book in advance for a longer stay. This is a perfect place for a night or two and a place to rest your head. Glad we chose it! For an older motel, its just what we needed for a day at the beach. Its a couple of short blocks from the beach (4 minute walk), its clean, very friendly staff, and everything you need for food and fun is in walking distance including a pier. Definitely will use this place again for those random overnight trips.

Got the family room with 3 queen beds. It was very clean and conveniently located. The front desk persons were very friendly. Our only problem was a sleepless night due to a broken ac unit in the room. If they can fix it, I'd definitely recommend this for an easy, economical beach stay.

Room smelled of extreme dampness and cigarette smoke from people smoking outside the room. Old and outdated is an understatement.

This is definitely a "no frills" establishment, which we knew when making the reservation. It would have been a good weekend for using the pool, BUT it was obvious the pool hadn't been cleaned since last summer season and there were TONS of bugs floating, dead on top of the water. The room was clean on the surface but definitely has mold hiding somewhere possibly under the newer carpet. All 3 of us had issues with breathing throughout the night but never when we weren't in the room. A plus... you can't hear voices or anything even with no vacancy but the unit above us had kids who ran back and forth for 2 hours (8:30-10:30 pm) (the room isn't even that big for running that much). When we called the front office after an hour of the pounding feet above us, we were told "to expect it from now until at least 12. there are no other rooms, so I can't move you" (we never wanted to be moved, nor asked to be moved). He never even offered to go by the room for us to say something to the adults (no phones in the room, so he really wasn't going to bother going to their door.)

Stayed 8/11-14 paid $423.75. Upon check in, I requested when pool would be available & was informed 8/12. I requested money off if not available since it is an amenity I paid for, to which Dave Ratia offered $20 off per night. But, first he informed me "There's an ocean" and I shared how unacceptable that statement was. I also agreed & offered to pay full price for rest of days if/when pool is ready. Upon checkout, I told Dave the AC doesn't work. He expressed his lack of awareness of the matter (of any issues with the facility), and wanted to know why i "stay 3 days and now something". Unbeknownst to him, the night of 8/12, multiple guests sat outside their rooms bonding over the many different issues in rooms, almost all complaining of the AC concerns.I did not think the AC would be a continual problem, but was hopeful the pool would help us cool off. There wasn't one time we saw anyone working on the pool, and it was definitely not ready at checkout 8/14. After Dave's unprofessional comments, without holding any accountability for his facility, he began making comments of "you people" and continued insulting me with stating how Im trying to get a free stay & I needed to leave. I informed him that I would leave the office once I've taken all my notes of this experience and obtained all legal information possible to report this. He called the local authorities since I would not leave the cold office with a fan but by the time they arrived I had already left his "office" due

Three words-Don't stay here. Nasty place, smelled moldy, dirty, bathroom was atrocious, rusty pipes and all plumbing hanging out of the wall. Sink so small you couldn't wash your hands without soaking the floor. Could have cried when first seeing the room. A drunk fell down the steps as we went to room. At two AM a loud, drunk, obnoxious woman and her two men decided to be philosophical outside our window. No answer when we called office to complain. Husband wanted to confront them but this is how todays headlines are made so thankfully he didn't. Horrible experience. The only saving grace was the 4 Corners Diner where we had a most awesome breakfast wth the sweetest waitress ever. Went back for dinner and had another wonderful waitress.

The age of this facility shows very well. The bathroom is so small a small sink is used. I had to turn sideways to get to toliet. No iron, no hair dyer, but did have a good refrigerator freezer and microwave. AC was cold. Definitely a hotel for a budget minded person. It was worth the price compared to other hotels in area.

What an aweful experience. Maybe updated in the 1950s? Very noisy, the entire place stunk. Tiny room. Only positive is the ocean was 2 blocks away. Would not recommend.
