My experience at this motel was quite disappointing. While it is located only a block from the beach, the overall condition of the place is severely lacking. The room I stayed in was not only cramped but also needed significant renovations and cleaning. The service was frustrating, with management seeming uninterested in resolving issues. Unfortunately, this property feels run down and is not worth the price I paid.

This motel really let me down despite its promising location just a block from the beach. I experienced issues with the cleanliness and maintenance of my room, which had a musty odor and outdated furnishings. While it’s great to be close to the water, the overall condition and lack of amenities made this stay feel like a disappointing waste of money.

I had high hopes for this hotel due to its proximity to the beach, but unfortunately, it fell short in several areas. The rooms were quite basic and not very clean, with some unsettling bugs in the bathroom. While the pool was okay, the surrounding area needed serious attention. Overall, the value for money is just not there, and I doubt I would return.

My stay at the motel was quite unfortunate, with many issues overshadowing its potential. The pool area was one of the few positives, but the condition of the rooms and facilities really needs attention. While the location is fantastic, being so close to the beach, the lack of cleanliness and maintenance made the experience less enjoyable than I had hoped.
