MANDATORY REVIEW: STAY AWAY!!!!!! UNLESS: 1)You like sleeping with roaches (no joke). I have video but cannot upload here. Will do so on Yelp. (Amongst the other videos that show it.) 2)You appreciate dirty sheets. 3) You love the art of smashed bugs on the wall. 4) Moldy Bath Tubs 5)You don't mind back issues from sleeping on springs drilling your back. Special Note: DO NOT pay attention to the 10/10 reviews. Those are 100% planted by bots to improve their ratings. It's also illegal but just use common sense. Nobody would ever rate this place a 10/10. DO look at the poor reviews...those are real people.
Forgot to mention that if you like curtains...they have some awesome ones.

The location is great and looks decent from the outside. Inside, it looks like a typical motel. Very old looking, and the bed and sheets were very uncomfortable. Sheets felt like sand paper. Still good for the price though!

Roach Motel!

Took my family for a weekend of beach and amusement park fun. Checked in late the evening, and upon entering the room we got blasted with a strong bleach odor. It was late so we decided to tough it out. Left early the next day and returned to the room late that evening. That's when we found a cockroach on the bed! A quick inspection and we found 5 more roaches! Immediately checked and packed our bags! Best part is the on shift manager wouldn't refund us the money for the night. Their response was "we try to keep them out." Stay away from this place!

This was a disappointing stay. The beds were lumpy, dirty, the bathroom was disgusting. I got up and went to the front desk at 6am, asked for room cleaning and we didn’t receive it. No clean towels, etc. there was hair everywhere and bugs and it was gross.

Staff was nice and accommodating. Parking was fairly simple/easy, and the place was honestly nicer than I expected, but there was a bit of a noise leak from the door frame and I did catch a solitary spider.
