We were visiting our daughter so the location was important. We found that having a kitchenette was wonderful since we didn’t have a car. The kitchenette was a little outdated and the bathroom didn’t have a lot of space to put toiletries. We would stay here again the next time we visit.

Location, location, location! You can walk out the back of the hotel and straight onto the beach. While the bed was good, as was the bathroom/shower, the room was desperately in need of refurbishment. However everything was just functional and when combined with the low cost we paid it was worth it for the location.

The ocean view is beautiful and breathtaking. The space is a little dated but comfortable. Heads up -The check in desk can be in a separate hotel if the receptionist isn’t there .

Very disappointed

This motel is very old. Needs much maintenance. Our balcony door would not shut and when it did you couldn’t open it. No shower curtain until the 2nd day. Bed was comfy, but I am pretty sure they were standard double and not a queen. No ice unless you went next door and paid 6$. Very run down. I will not stay here again

This place has very good accommodations. Quiet - couldn’t hear any sound from adjacent rooms. It has easy and ADA friendly access to the beach. The unit was very clean and had great views of the beach, the pier, and the Gulf. The kitchenette was convenient for preparing breakfast and had good sized refrigerator, dinnerware, and cookware. Our stay was very pleasant.

I came into town to work and I work nights. That means I sleep during the daytime and unfortunately they are doing some form of construction directly above my head. I am the only reservation they had arriving on a Sunday in the 13 guests they have on property And they chose to remodel the room directly above mine. I have heard every nail that was hammered heard grinders and sanders heard construction people drop things and I’m going to leave a day early just to get the hell out of here.
