It was clean outside, the beds were uncomfortable, for the rates I paid, I have stayed in nicer, its a subpar motel with a restaurant atteaction. There are long term tenants who walk their dogs around unleashed, which makes leaving the room when i was there very stressful. It wasnt a terrible stay, but ill take my money elsewhere.

The first room we were assigned has a bad smell and we realized it was from mold growing in the fridge that was broken. The second room's bathtub didn't have a plug and the hot water was iffy. The room was like daylight at night because there were blinds but no curtains. The walls were very thin so we heard our neighbor's entire phone conversation. Proximity to beach is good, though. Big sign at the property for $69/night.

Bed had sand in them before we used them, like it wasn't really cleaned bed sheets in one of the beds was our only main issue, Other than It rained the entire time we were there but that is not the properties' fault. At night its hard-to-find parking due to the restaurant next door, however, they do give you 10 percent off your food/drinks while staying at the hotel at the restaurant next door. Lastly, the Dog area was not cleaned up, people left their dog poo everywhere. The staff was great and very friendly, and place was affordable, so I rated them a 4-star, due to their friendliness.

Spiders on ceiling above beds, uncleaned and broken tile floors, urine on walls, dirty vents, drunks and drug users were fighting outside of room on the night we stayed. absolutely...it was a nightmare. I hate being negative, but this place earned all of these comments.
