Close to the beach and restaurants. If you are looking for quiet this isn’t the place. If you are looking to have fun and somewhere to pass out drunk this place will work.

This property was very outdated, the toilet seat was barely on, the toilet was so low to the ground you had to hold onto something to sit down. The baseboard was so old it was coming off. The air conditioners were rusted out and dripping rusty water, ours didnt even cool our room. The bed was a semi thick mattress on a "rock hard" slab foundation. The whole time we were in the room, the smell of pot was drifting in through the ac. It was horrible, we WILL NOT go back. It was a typical 2 star MOTEL, very dirty, overpriced!

This was a great place to just need somewhere to sleep at. Staff was friendly, accommodated early check in, and room was very clean. Only complaint I have is the pool area needs updated pretty bad, it was small. The trash area was right next to it, so it smelled while sitting there. Thankfully we spent majority of the time at the beach.

Updates and Cleaning Needed

Check-in went well And the desk clerk was very accommodating. The rooms, however, were very outdated. The bathroom was in need of some repair and the air conditioning in our second room continually tripped the electric which requires a move to a different room. The bed linens had stains and hair. The walkways and stairs were filthy. We ended up leaving.
Bathroom door from the inside. Paint pealing
Bathroom was extremely small, tile cracked and the faucet area rusted and in need of repair
