The short walk to the beach was awesome. The property definitely needs some attention. Room was nice but could use updating. Lack of access to clean towels was unhandy.

Very sweet little motel the rooms are a little small, but still cozy. I had ants in my room during the day another coworker stayed there at a different time and have the same issue. Great location, though easy access to the beaches.

Location is excellent. Typical "beach" property that needs updating. The bed was a large, comfortable king size. The circuit breaker for the heater tripped off.

Alma the maid is wonderful. She keeps it spotless and the cleanliness and location are perfect. Bed is comfy and room is clean! Really clean..I always wear slippers in hotel rooms because the floors are never clean enough, but in this room you can have bare feet! The cons.. there are no bikes and no beach chairs. No coffee in room available even though a coffee maker. Microwave and fridge worked. But coffee is necessary. I would def stay again because of location cleanliness.

Pros-beautiful neighborhood, location (around 8 min walk to beach and st Armand's circle), availability to rent nightly instead of weekly, fairly clean,safe neighborhood, cute decor, some cookies left at supply station. Cons-Everywhere you look is evidence of trying to save money. No light bulbs in ceiling fan. Old mattress squeaked SO bad, woke us up when one got out during night and backache next day. 3 windows didn't close. Closet doors broken, old sofa squeaked badly and not comfortable. Bare minimum supplies. No beach towels as listed, beach chairs provided are small and uncomfortable. They did provide additional towels when requested later that day. Bathtub drained very slowly while showering. Make sure front door is locked when you leave by pulling the door tight while locking. If you know what you are getting ahead of time, it makes it better. If the price was right, I'd stay again, but would prefer to try something different first.

Some things could use sprucing up, especially the outdoor sitting area. The furniture was kind of beat, but the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Location was great, on a quiet street, close to the beach, shopping and dining. Great price! I'd stay again.
