It was clean outside, the beds were uncomfortable, for the rates I paid, I have stayed in nicer, its a subpar motel with a restaurant atteaction. There are long term tenants who walk their dogs around unleashed, which makes leaving the room when i was there very stressful. It wasnt a terrible stay, but ill take my money elsewhere.

The first room we were assigned has a bad smell and we realized it was from mold growing in the fridge that was broken. The second room's bathtub didn't have a plug and the hot water was iffy. The room was like daylight at night because there were blinds but no curtains. The walls were very thin so we heard our neighbor's entire phone conversation. Proximity to beach is good, though. Big sign at the property for $69/night.
