6/10 Good

No frills sleeping room.
The motel was ok overall. Very much no frills. Online, it indicated that all rooms had an ocean view. Not true. Upon arrival, we were told we had an obstructed view, which meant we could only see trees. Two of the rooms have no view. Had I known this was “obstructed view”, I would not have rented the room. Online, it indicated it was the only room available. This is probably a website issue. The beds were like sleeping on box springs. My body hurts after sleeping on this bed. They are either extremely old mattresses, or the cheapest mattresses they could find. Both, my bed, and my friend’s, were like sleeping on box springs. Water is very slow to warm up, but it does get warm. Breakfast is a hard boiled egg, yogurt, and breads, so we didn’t bother. The rooms are dated, but very clean. The area is very safe. Employees are very kind and helpful.
