The room was nice, clean and comfortable. It was a bit small as we travel with our little dogs, however it had a great bed. The faucet and shower controls should be replaced as it was very difficult to adjust the temperature on both. The staff was great and the breakfast was the best. Value was worth the price.

Location was great, close to 2 beaches. Property was nice and clean. Rooms were small but fine. Was there 4 days and basically had bad oranges and no other fruit for the time spent. Had plenty of bagged muffins, yogurt, and cereals. One beaches supplier you with towels and chair you just have to get a pass from the front desk. Great outside live music every night. Would definitely stay again.

Guys for the price this is pretty run down property even though the rooms were clean. The breakfast served was really a junk. I understand that I decided to stay in a MOTEL but still, even cheap food can be better quality. The staff was courteous and professional and friendly. Really, just staff and room cleanliness were positives of this place.
