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.

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.

Literally the worst hotel. Should be a 0 star. I impulsivly booked this hotel because of price and location. We got there and the "lobby" is a disguisting portion of a house. Staff was dressed in dirty pajamas and it looked like a hoarders paradise. When we got to the room it stunk, had cockroaches crawling on the wall and dead beatles. In the bathroom there were ants and the sheets were torn from what i could see. We turned around and left. Not even worth the cheap price.

This place is 40 years old. For what it is it is amazing friendly staff. Get room 212 you won’t be disappointed. The bed by the air conditioner is absolutely amazing.

Very nice place. It is rather old but that increases the atmosphere of being at the beach. I will definitely stay here again.

I liked that the accessibility to get to our room was easy with safe steps, that the room was clean and ready when we got there. Staff was friendly. Loved how they had it decorated for Halloween! Just a pleasant stay, as it has been the each of the 7 times we were there!
