For clarification purposes only, they do not have a three bedroom family room.I booked the three bedroom, and what it is, is actually three beds, queen size, in one room. I brought that to the attention of the person that was checking me in. She might have thought that she was giving the correct description but I let her know that she should definitely be updating it to state it is three beds in one room. She did let me know that there is a two-bedroom, but it was taken because they were sold out. Overall, was not a bad place to stay, short walk to the beach and a very short walk to anywhere you may have wanted to go in town.

Clean room. Good location but it is not on the beach nor is there a beach view. I like that there is no carpet in the rooms. Walla are thin so I could hear people talking in the next room.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was clean and fine just don't expect many amenities. I would recommend booking directly with the motel as they won't work with you on the room if you book third party such as Expedia. We had room #18 which I don't recommend and was told that there was nothing they can do about since I booked with Expedia. Having been a Travel Advisor for the past 10 years I know that's a reason they hide behind not wanting to assist in changing rooms. Not the best customer service but it fit the rest of the experience.

A pillow had hairs on it, the bed smelled like sweat and my wife and I couldn't sleep. I complained to the person at the desk, and the manager appologized, and offered a fifty percent discount next time. We will never staty there again. I hope they get their act together...

There was no blackout curtains you could not hear the ocean waves like they said the property was not on the actual beach they said it was and you could not find a barbecue pit to barbecue like they said they did the room floors wear filthy I had brand new pair of white socks on by the time I hit the bed my socks were black there was no dresser doors to put ur clothes in The only thing I like about the room was the refrigerator and the microwave. I will never rent there ever again.

The room was dirty and definitely needs paint. Baseboards, doors, shower all super dirty. Would never stay there again. Way over priced and $50 dog fee. Would not recommend this motel. Also the keys cards were demagnetized after 1 day.

Very nice place to stay

I’ve had a lovely experience staying at this place. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, there were inly 3 pillows but you can request for more. The only thing that was a downside was the WiFi. It was very slow and difficult to connect to. But I had cell service so it’s not a big deal. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my short stay.

Very basic room. It served the purpose of a place to sleep, but we really didn't enjoy hanging out there.
