We stayed here for quick trip to the beach. The location of hotel was great. The hotel itself was ok but not sure I would stay here again. Didn't have major issues with the hotel besides our door knob being semi broken. The guests that stayed same night with us were so bad. They like to stand outside and you can hear everything. It was so noisy so we didn't sleep good at all. Can hear everything above you. I also wish the employees would wear some type of uniform or even a Tshirt with hotel name. Also if you want ice, one ice machine is broken and the other, well you have to beat the people who are filling chests for fishing. Breakfast was ok.

The general experience was ok. The neighbors above were rude and partied all night for both nights. Other than that the cost per night was above average. The parking close to the building was blocked by rental carts. As partiality disabled was bad.

No frills motel.

This motel is okay if you are just looking for a place to sleep and shower. I immediately noticed that the room was warm and humid. I voiced my concern to the clerk and she put me in another room where the AC was in working order. The location is good. I booked my stay for a Sunday, the rate was slightly under $100, however, when considering booking Saturday, I noticed that the rates were drastically higher, like over $300 for a Saturday night. I travel often and this motel is definitely not worth spending over $300 a night!

The 5 Star Reviews are Misleading

The recent 5 star reviews are all misleading. Dirty rooms - pubic hair on bathroom floor, old moldy peach round gummies in cabinet, dirty glassware. Internet doesn't work for any rooms except, conveniently, the front desk. More than $250/night for dirty room, no wifi, and cable tv that is small and barely works. Most channels do not work. Pool was green, hot tub empty. I came here based on the recent 5 star reviews, which were very misleading. Next time I visit Port A, I will spend more and go elsewhere.
Random "curly" hair.
Bed not fully done
Green pool water
Empty hot tub

Terrible Experience – Do Not Recommend This place was absolutely filthy. The carpets were dirty, the bathrooms were dirty , and the sheets looked like they hadn’t been changed – full of marks and unpleasant smells. I felt uncomfortable the entire stay. Definitely not worth the money. Avoid if you care about cleanliness.

Perfect location close to everything and in walking distance. Room was fine and price was good. Only thing I would say, it was like the floor was not moped. Floor was really dirty. You dont see it until you look at the bottom of your feet and socks. It was gross. Other than than, good hotel to stay at.

The room was ok. Not super clean, but not disgusting. Nothing fancy, but no bugs, so we were happy. Staff was not very friendly. And breakfast was sad compared to most places. Was told the had appetizers from 5-7, we went down at 5, and there was nothing.
