Did not need laundry service. The room wasn't very clean, the curtain was falling off the rod & we had to use clothes pins to close the curtain. A half inch of dust under the bathroom sink, no hand holds around the tub, and little pieces of trash all over the floor. We found dust covered sand toys & a wedding favor from 2017 behind one of the beds. The beds were not all that comfortable & the pillows were horrible. I usually take my own but forgot it. The AC does work though and works well. The toilet, sink & shower/tub combo was clean. Did not use the coffee pot & microwave. The mimi fridge was clean but dusty on top. The entire place needs updating badly. We were on the bottom floor facing the beach. I liked where the room was.

Location is everything The beach is right outside your door. Now the motel is old, it for sure needs to be updated. Beds were ok i brought out own linens. Bathroom was functional but again old. It did have cold AC. It had gross carpet so bring shoes to wear while inside the room. Would i stay again.... not there unless it was renovated. Staff was fine If you are a zero frills this place is fine. The beach though is amazing.

The staff, view and access to the beach was amazing. The room was a bit dated though and parking was a pain but we knew that before booking from reviews. There is a parking lot across the street and they do allow you to unload/load in front of the hotel so thats nice.

Oh boy where to start. So I decided to take a trip to the beach with my mother who just retired and has copd. We had to change rooms three times on this trip. Once for the never ending smoking, once because the next room didnt have a patio and the last time because the fridge didnt work, spoiling our crablegs we bought to cook for her celebration. I specifically chose this hotel for their heated pool, which when I called before booking, they said they had. Spoiler- it didnt. Why do you ask? Who knows. I got three different stories/reasons from three different people on this. So if you like showering with tiny black bugs, icecold pool water that freezes ya manhood off and pot and cig smells everwhere. By all means, stay here.
