The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The toilet needed a lid. We liked that it was only a short walk to the beach.

Budget Accomodations in a Great Area
I love this old-school place but if you are picky about your mattress firmness it might not be the best; the beds weren't very comfortable this time.

Old property that serves fishermen, construction workers and budget-minded tourists. My room had been refurbished in the recent past and was satisfactory, but bathroom was very dated and small. Wi-Fi was spotty at best, tv was a 36” with minimal channels and a sporadic
Remote controller.
The grounds are not the best but you don’t see them while sleeping. Didn’t utilize the pool.
Asked for a Non-smoking room but was told “All our rooms are smoking”. My room wasn’t too bad, but I didn’t think you could have a lodging facility that was ALL
SMOKING ROOMS!???? Is that even legal?

This has got to be right up there in the top 3 absolute worst places I’ve stayed in over 50 yrs of traveling. The only plus was the shower water pressure. Floors were filthy, it smelled like an old 1960’s no tell motel, barely an outlet to plug anything into. No vanity top in bathroom for wife to put the girl bathroom stuff on. Beds had plastic pee protectors over the mattresses that squeaked and felt like you’re wrapped in Saran Wrap all night and made you sweat and felt real creepy. The girl that checked me in didn’t seem real happy to be there working. I could go on but won’t…… just remember, you get what you pay for.

Staff was very nice. Place is a set back from the 80's with room decor which was okay, but we saw a few bugs in room which changed our opinion overall

Cozy and Charming
This was an adorable and charming little mom and pop place. Everything about it was inviting with old beach motel charm. The location was amazing in that it was close to beach and restaurants and even in town it was nestled under the oaks with a tropical landscape. This is a sweet spot for family and children to play as well. The staff serviced our room and refreshed it while we took a dip in the pool and we just couldn’t be more pleased with the personal attention. We will definitely return.

Family run property with a great little pool for families with kids and just to hang out at during the day. Two block walk to the beach easy to get to close to grocery stores restaurants and anything else you need. Staff is amazing always on site and really work hard to keep the place updated and clean.
