It was clean and comfortable but nothing fancy. The staff was amazing and we enjoyed watching the moon come up over the water while we sat by the pool. It’s about an 8-10 minute walk to the strip with lots of little shops and a few restaurants along the way. I would highly recommend it if you are not too picky but like a clean friendly place. However, if you are looking for modern and fancy this probably isn’t the place for you.

The staff was exceptional, the rooms were clean and it was easy access to the beach. And to top it off the views were beautiful.

Everything ,The Location was Perfect, And Staff was very Nice Definitely want to come Back so close to the Beach. Some reviews I read stated the rooms need updating but when you rent a room close to the beach you get a room like a little cottage, we thought it was so cute we were very Happy 😊

I didn't like some of the reviews I read, Because it kinda made us wonder.. But we were satisfied with are stay No Complaints From us and we had a group with 4 Rooms And everything was wonderful ❤️

Location is amazing! Right on the beach :) Lauren was amazing and helpful in the office. Its clean! The price and location is amazing! Definitely kid friendly and a wonderful place to stay for the price :) we stayed 3 nights and will probably stay again next summer. It's clean, spacious, and a great motel :) Thank you Lauren!

There was a little mold on the wall in our bathroom, and green smelly mold on the counter on the kitchenette ( which we wiped off) But for the price and being feet away from the beach, you really cant beat it! Besides the little mold.. it was amazing! :)

We loved that the hotel was right there on the beach!!! We could just stroll right out of our room and right on to the beach. It's just a short walk to the pier. As well as two convenient stores close by.The small beach bar next door plays live music most nights, it was lovely to hear. The staff was friendly, and any issues we had, they were right on them. We will definitely be coming back next year!!! Hopefully, by next year, all the rooms will be remodeled

Just two things we didn't like. The beds are the #1. Both beds were extremely uncomfortable. Every movement that was made it sounded like something was going to snap underneath the mattress. The mattress wasn't very supportive and extremely noisy. But we stuck it out the hotel waa pretty booked when we arrived so no point in saying anything about the mattress.The 2nd item is our kitchenette stove didn't work, which was okay because they came over immediately with a hot plate, and the issue was corrected.

The location of the motel is perfect. Steps from the beach, a bar/restaurant right next door and just far enough away from the pier and amusement park area to be peaceful. The staff was VERY responsive and accommodating.

The rooms could use an upgrade, especially the beds, but they were basically as expected. And the parking situation had some challenges, but the hotel staff took care of them immediately!

Location on the beach, with a pool, with food and drink (and live entertainment) essentially on site was fantastic. Everything was at our fingertips. I have not stayed here in many years, but was impressed with some of the upgrades they have changed, including new showers and hard floors instead of rug.

It must be very hard to keep clean due to salt and sand. The staff did a good job cleaning and saw them test the pool every night.

The motel was older but clean. It was in a great location!!! Right on the beach walking distance from anywhere on the strip. We had a great time.

It could use some some fixing up on some of the walls and it kinda smells musky. But we got used to it. We had to ask for extra towels and tp on the 3 & 4 days. It was difficult to find anyone in the office.

It was reasonably priced. Could see the ocean when we walked out of our room. The pool was perfect and you could also see the ocean from the pool. The check-in girl Lauren was very nice and helped us with our room. Overall for it being on the ocean within feet of the beach, it was a great place to stay. We will definitely go back and stay a bit longer.

We were in room 2 and the AC did not work very well at all. Could use a remodeling of the rooms as they are very outdated and new beds would be great.

The location is perfect! Right on the beach and walking distance to the shops, carnival, pier, and many area restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious.

There wasn't enough outlets in the room. I had to unplug the microwave to plug in the coffee pot. The room we got was ground floor and the screen door didn't lock.
