8/10 Good
"I traveled with my fiance and my friend here in September 2026 and it was an awesome trip. The motel is definitely part to thank for that. The pool was awesome, clean, maintained, good temperature. They even let us stay an extra hour past closing because we asked. After three days, our room got pretty sandy and they changed our sheets and swept the floor per our request. The staff was very accommodating, attentive, and nice. The microwave, fridge, and TV were a great thing for us and we used it a lot. The best part of it all was how close we really were to the beach. It never even felt like a walk. Before I even realized I was walking really, we were at the beach. It was actually amazing. This motel is also placed in a wonderful area, with many shops, dining, bars, and a grocery store a very short walk away. The only two reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there really was zero air conditioning and it was very hot and felt like we were melting. They had three fans in there for you to use but it did not really help. The other reason was because they charged us 6 dollars for parking for each day. I don't really understand that because we were staying at the motel so why would we pay for parking? Other than that, if no AC isn't a deal breaker for you, I would definitely recommend staying here for your trip."
