This property is all under construction therefore there is a lot of construction material out and about, no sign or address and no one to provide any information. Luckily, I was able to reach someone on the phone to confirm I was at the right place. The interior of our room is nicely renovated however the toilet did not work.

James

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
This place was in the throes of a renovation, which was hit and miss. My room smelled strongly of new paint, lacked a screen on one of the windows (promptly replaced), and a door that would not shut properly without lifting. There is no one on premises to supervise and answer questions (I got lucky) especially after hours, and they were adamant that checkout is at 10:00 am, not later. With a 4:00 pm check-in and such an early checkout, you only get the room for 18 hours or less. The beds were new, but far too low to the floor and I kept banging my shins on the exposed bed frame - I've slept on futons that were more comfortable. Despite its name, it's NOT on the beach and did not appear to have any beach access, just a pool in back. This is just a mom and pop old motel, which doesn't get any better because of the yuppified remodel, and is only a "resort" in the sense that Applebees is "fine dining." There aren't a whole lot of options in the area, but I'll be searching for them if my travels take me back.
