Ann

Property was easy to find. Parking was limited and crowded. Loud outdoor bar too large for property. Limited beach space, port-o-lets on walk way to beach. No outdoor shower, instead a garden hose in muddy area. This motel is overrated for the price.

This hotel is right on the ocean as is their bar. It's not a quiet hotel as the other side faces the main road into the beach. There are 4-5 restaurants/bars within walking distance, which is very convenient.

We had a good stay. Being a beach front hotel there is wear and tear but it adds to the charm. It was loud when the close by bars closed at night.

There was absolutely no where to park on arrival. However the staff was actively working to resolve cars that didnt beling on the property. I reccomend never going on a weekend day during the summer. Very loud and crowded with cigareette and pot smell every where. Would not had had a problem if it was only allowed at the outside bar. The worst part was blood on our sheets and when the replacement sheets were brought to us we were offered a round of drinks from the bar and no other compensation. Which was completely unfortuate since that set the tone for our stay. The staff was very friendly but it did not make up for the sheet incident.
