I had a pleasant stay overall at the motel. The rooms were clean and featured a comfortable setup with a kitchenette. The Hostess was incredibly kind, making me feel welcomed during my stay. However, I experienced a significant downside with noisy tenants and an uncomfortable bed, which detracted from my enjoyment.

This hotel was a complete letdown. I was shocked by the level of uncleanliness and neglect I experienced during my stay. The pool looked filthy, and the rooms were in a terrible state. What made it worse was the presence of questionable characters around the property, which made me feel unsafe. I definitely won’t be recommending this place to anyone.

My experience at the motel was less than ideal. While the location provided easy access to local attractions, the service was lacking and the initial room I was given was not cleaned. The upgraded room was better, but still had issues that needed addressing. I wasn't expecting luxury, but I definitely expected cleanliness and basic amenities. Overall, I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

Rooms

I initially walked into a room that hadn't been cleaned, which was shocking. The upgraded room was basic but in need of refurbishing with some broken amenities.

The reception staff seemed unaware of the room situation and took a long time to resolve the issue. Their service could use significant improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and offers quick access for early morning events, but the overall condition of the rooms leaves much to be desired. The staff is friendly but could use better training in maintaining the property. It’s definitely a budget option, but the lack of cleanliness and basic amenities makes it hard to recommend.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mix. The room I was given was clean and I really appreciated the upgrade we received upon arrival, but the amenities were lacking. While I enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the onsite pool, there were definitely some issues with the service and overall maintenance of the hotel. It’s a budget-friendly option, but don't expect luxurious comforts.
