The motel is maybe 50 yards from the beach. The bed was super comfortable. The staff that we met were very professional and helpful. For a "2 Star Motel", we were very pleased. Will definitely stay here again.

We were upgraded for free to a room with a spa tub. The spa tub was right near the bed. The only thing that I would change would be to add a shower curtain around the spa tub. My poor wife had to watch me shower, lol.

All good; staff, property, location and room.

Streaming TV was not working, missed seeing the Super Bowl (listened to end of the game in my car on the radio..bah) and could not watch any programs for 2 days. The selected channels would not work and only showed the streaming spinner with the Wifi signal so weak the TV would not connect.

It was right down from the beach and had a GREAT staff who told you what was good to eat and where to go. The most important thing I liked, was that my Mom (85 years old) needed to rest a little longer than the 11:00 check out time and they were very considerate and said "don't worry, when your Mom feels better, we will clean the room afterwards"

Everything was great! The Housekeeping staff were fabulous! They were quick and efficient

The location is great, parking onsite makrs it a breeze to head a few doors down to the water. Breakfast was filling and a bbq onsite would be fun. Nect trip i'm here!

Close to beach. Nice restaurants near by. Beds comfortable. Staff very nice. Beach sandy and within walking distance to the pier. Price is reasonable for the location. Refrigerator and microwave and sink in our room.

Needs some paint and updating. Patio could have used a broom and table was dirty. Trash cans on common picnic area were full and tables dirty.

Staff was very accommodating. There was a mix up with our reservation, but Joseph was able to get us even better accommodations than what we reserved. The cabin was right on the oceanfront. We had a spectacular view of the ocean from our bedroom and our kitchen. We highly recommend the Shores Inn

first off, I thought I was renting at inn on the beach vs shores inn. i was super upset at first but once I got there it was totally fine. The location was perfect, maybe not on the beach but only a block away. Also the liquor store across the street was more like a convenience store and anything we needed was steps away. The shower pressure was AMAZING!!!

The beds are old and pretty uncomfortable and it was a little difficult to figure out when the housekeeper was going to be around for us to time it so we could be out of the room. No one’s fault, just was slightly inconvenience. Also there was no designated pet relief area but again. mildly inconvenient.

I had booked earlier so when I checked in there was only one room left to give me. So I got the big queen size bed and a Jacuzzi that I could fit two people easy so I've been getting my water time in that's very relaxing and the staff and security are super nice

No ice machine.. says broken

I liked that was an option for coffee and pastries for the adults and cereal, milk and orange juice for children too! The women manager in the front greeted everyone with a smile and a positive message. The housekeeping was available when needed and a lovely personality as well!

I wish I could have stayed longer!
