I loved that they had a tub! I hated that they had a Roku tv system. No idea how it worked. Who on earth wants to watch "live tv", whatever that is??? Would have much preferred satellite so i could have watched a movie. I don't have a tv so would have been a nice treat. Otherwise one of the nicest rooms i've stayed in.

This motel was overall average. The down fall was the lack of staff in the evening. Coffee maker in the room was terrible. it leaked severly. the batteries in the remote for the TV were dead and we had to replace them with our own. Pet area was over grown and not marked properly.

I stayed in one of their rooms a few years ago and while it was dated, it was clean and ok. This trip, there were ants all over the bathroom counter and sink as well as sand on the floor. It’s one thing for a motel to be outdated and worn and a different thing to be dirty and gross.

We stayed here 1 night on our way up the coast. I picked this hotel based on the positive reviews left by other travelers. This motel was exactly as described. A very basic but clean comfortable place to stay for a night. Beds were decent but pillows a little flat. Water pressure good for a motel. They have Roku TV instead of cable which is way better in my opinion. Love the location, very close to good restaurants and stores. Would stay here again!

Check in was easy. Didn’t realize there would be a pet fee (must have overlooked that in my paperwork) but it was only $20 so not too bad. Room was nice. Smelled good. A little dirty in the corners but you tend to get that anywhere with lots of sand 😊 Bed was soft, pillows were hard but overall it was a great stay. For the price would definitely stay again.

Stayed and paid the additional cleaning fee extra for a pet friendly room - Unfortunately at our arrival the floor was so filthy that it stained my new white socks black on the soles … sadly very very dirty … sheets were mostly clean - only a few hairs and dust I think - they smelled clean/ bleached ( thankfully) but just super disappointed that the floor and table were so gross. Won’t stay again :(

Don't do it!
This hotel is utter trash. It's FILTH. I don't think they have ever mopped the floors, and there is literally dust and dirt all over the place. I wish I had thought to take photos of how bad it was. The bed felt like there was sand in it. I cannot believe the price I was charged for this stay. They claim to be "pet friendly" but have NO pet area whatsoever. They tell you to take your dog in the weeds at the gas station next door. Stay at your own risk--this place was very gross.

That's funny, you want to make these wild claims even though you checked in at 5:54 PM and stayed in the room yet nothing bothered you whatsoever until you leave of course and want some money back. If it was me and the room was as bad as you say it is then I would have been in the office quick to say something. That's one thing that is really frustrating but far to common. You want to save a little money so you make wild claims in hopes we refund your stay. That's just wild to me. Have the day you deserve bud.

The Property accepted dogs, which was necessary once I learned earlier in the week that we'd be taking our Golden Retriever home from my son's college after his graduation. Wasn't expecting a 5 star experience, but we had loud, noisy, and F Bomb dropping screaming in and out of the room next door. Around 11:00 pm on the night we stayed, someone called the police and one of the screamers left, and the other calmed down. Not the most pleasant of experiences.

That's sad. First and foremost 2 stars for something that was out of our control is wild to me. Nonetheless, yes, unfortunately you did have a room next door to you with 3 brothers here spreading their fathers ashes and grieving. An argument did arise from the room but was quickly handled and as you said dealt with by the police WITHIN a 5 minute time period. We do not condone this behavior but we do try to be compassionate during such a hard time for them. We sincerely apologize for the 5 minutes of yelling you may have heard and hope you grow to forgive us for it in the future. Have a great day.

Terrible stay! Room 119 had a lot of mold. Sheets were old and wore out. Shower was so dirty we did not even use it. Also no air conditioning. It was very stuffy and hot! Miserable night. I notified them and they just said sorry. We were only there till 5 am because we had to get on a charter boat.

Yikes, so to be specific here what was said was I will be walking the entire property to confirm the claims being made here. Nothing along the lines of what you're stating was found. Also, maybe it's just me but if I happened to stay in a room as terrible as you're describing I wouldn't have spent the night in there let alone wait until late the next day to say something about it. Finally yes you are correct, you booked a STANDARD room which in reading the descriptions of our rooms only PREMIUM rooms are equipped with air conditioning.
