Clean, quiet, right across from the beach
I booked an overnight stay in a double queen room. Everything was clean right across from the beach and I will be visiting again.

Great location and clean.
The price was great. If you’re looking for fancy it is not for you. If you’re looking for clean awesome location that won’t break the bank check it out. We plan to stay there on our next trip back.

Recommend for basic stay.
Everything was fine except this apartment close to a small club, so it a little bit noisy. It’s worthy for a affordable price.

Economic place to stay on the Island
4th of July trip. Had to get the remote from front desk. Staff was fun and friendly. Room was cold...yay. Shower was hot and bed was VERY comfortable.. Thats all I care about. Applian es were not plugged in so put food in it but next day only my ice packed kept it edible. I share fault in that. Will stay again.

I really dont like the $100 "security deposit" that takes 5-7 business days to be returned. Other than that, location is great, room amelt like chlorine but i guess that's better than smelling dirty.

Had a good time. Great location by the sea wall, beautiful view from balcony, friendly people and service my only complaint is the water pressure in the shower wasn't good, everything else was great!

The motel was easy to get to & located close to downtown. Staff friendly & helpful. Very reasonable rates without the unnecessary frills. Keep up the good work.

Bed bugs, dirty sheets, the smell of mildew and terrible wifi. We were not expecting fancy, but what we found was just gross. It's obviously an older building, but absolutely no effort was put into keeping things fresh. The towels they gave us had yellow stains and the white sheets had yellow stains. I even found a couple of bed bugs. I don't usually write reviews but this made me compelled. The price is high so you would expect a little better, but no, I do not recommend anyone staying here, the building should be condemned and started anew. That being said, the location is nice and close to the beach.

They need to exterminate for roaches and clean the bathrooms better. Foundation to the rooms needs to be leveled better, holes and breaks can cause someone to get hurt. Last, need more parking spaces as they’re next to 3 bars.
