It was a cute little place for sure. And a nice little place to stay while we worked in Alligator Point over the weekend. The only complaint that I have is that we stayed in one of the single digit rooms and there was parking behind the building. Around 12:30 amsomeone pulled up with their car and left their lights on for a few minutes and it woke us up because the lights from the car came through the bathroom blinds and directly in our faces while we were in bed.

Funky fifties , friendly and frugal place to sleep
I was visiting a friend who lives 15 minutes away so this place was perfect for the time Ispent in the room. It was a good value and right off the coastal highway.

Good concept but still needs some work. I'm not sure there is much that can be done with the noise both from the road and between units. It is what it is.

Wish we had more time to explore the area. We were disappointed there wasn’t a direct view of the water, but the room was nice and met all of our needs.

Cute little vintage motel for overnight stay. Quiet,clean and cozy. Not much to do in the area but we knew that before we booked which is why we chose it for the night.

Nice place to stay for the night! A little small for a family, however, singles on a fishing trip would be perfect!

The staff went out of the way to be helpful. When we initially had an issue with the keypad, they answered the call promptly & had an easy solution. They furnished towels when we requested extras, and were just as nice as anyone could be. The room was very clean, had everything we needed. Bed was soft and the retro vibes were so very cute. This is a refurbished old motel that has new life as a little boutique air b and b. I loved it.

I did not like the concrete business right next door to the property. The cement trucks were very noisy and unsightly and took away any ambiance this little hotel offers. The location is convenient and the restaurant down the road (Tropical Trader Shrimp Co.) has the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. The hotel itself was clean, cute and comfy!

The room was set up like an efficiency apt. Cute, very clean, quiet, and the room has every thing needed to have your own food and deink without going out to eat for every meal. There were a xouple of minor issues, but the managemt took care of my issues. Jennifer needs a raise as she is doing a 2 person job by herself. Without her there would be a quality vs. quanity issue. I would definitely stay here again.
