The room was dated, but pretty clean. The shower head sprayed water out over the shower doors and semi flooded the bathroom floor. The toilet paper rool fell apart. It's a one bedroom apartment, The kitchen has basic pots and pans, flatware, a couple plates, bowls, cups, and glasses, along with a dish drainer, dish soap, and a sponge to do the dishes. There were extra pillows and blankets in a closet, as well as a broom, and a couple TV trays. They have a basic HDTV with cable and Starz, it's not a smart tv so you can't stream, but I always travel with my laptop, and my Son has his iPad, and there WiFi was able to handle gaming and both of us streaming. The person at the check in desk was very informative and showed me where to get anything I needed (extra towels, fans, blankets and pillows, more coffee etc.). It's walking distance to the beach, and they have chairs you can take to the beach, provided you bring them back of course. They have a heated saltwater pool, but no jacuzzi. All in all it was a pleasent stay. I would stay there again,

Expecting a person at check in, but nobody. Arrived at 9pm. Description said that a person would be there until midnight.

Bathroom was moldy, maybe due to the area since it’s next ti the beach. And blinds kept falling off.

Had a neighbor’s child who kept running around the floor which was extremely loud.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed, i booked hotel at 9pm 2/24/2026, but when i arrived hotel at 11:45, lobby was closed, i called hotel number, but no one responded, then i called the number they leave on window, there is a lady from another hotel picked up my call and tell me lobby closed at 5 pm everyday, that is ridiculous that hotel lobby closed at 5 pm and i can still book that hotel at 9pm. Then this is lady tell me to call Expedia customer service to solve this, they can’t do anything to help me and I couldn’t get my room key until the following morning when they reopen, and they even said due to hotel policy that they can’t give me refund. After 4 days, Expedia give me refund, need to say thank you Expedia, but for this hotel service is really really bad, don’t book this hotel

This is second time I was staying here. First time we had great experience, that's why I booked again. However this time we got 2nd floor room. Someone from 1st floor came at the night and they asked us to not to use our bath tub/shower, as there was some leakage in their bathroom, which was just below our bathroom. So we couldn't take bath in the morning, later they fixed the issue next day, however we had to leave the hotel in the morning. Place is great and nearby to beech. Next time book I will try to find other place.

My mother and I stayed here for one night, and we were very disappointed. First, there was no one in the office after 7:30 p.m. We needed an extra blanket, but there was no one available to assist us, and no one responded to our phone calls or messages. In addition, the bathtub drain was clogged, causing water to accumulate in the tub while we were showering.

The room was beautiful and well kept. We were offered beach towels the next day and they even had some beach supplies we could borrow!
The pool was clean and heated to the perfect temperature.
The hotel was quiet and serene after 8 which made for perfect rest and relaxation. We look forward to staying here again!

Looks like a converted apartment building. Furnishings are retro 60’s. So they were familiar to me. Great location by restaurants and the beach. They have a pool but no one used it the one day I was there. They let me check in early, which we appreciated. Internet and a good sized smart television worked good. I could deal with a queen bed for one night but the bed pillows were awful. Literally could not sleep with them. It was a bonus having a small kitchen. The supplied coffee was good. Would have given this apartment four stars if not for the cheap pillows. If you are on a budget, this is the place for you.

Crazy hot, awkward environment

Never actually interacted with anyone from the hotel as they have very limited staff hours and we checked in at 7:00 pm and they were already gone and then we left at 6:00 am for the airport and no one was in yet. The place was clean but when we arrived it was fully closed up with no AC and it was 85 degrees. It was only a high of 64 degrees that day, so any attempt by the staff to open it up during the day would have reduced the temperature to a normal range. We opened up all the windows and doors while awake which decreased temperature a bit but we weren’t comfortable in the unsecured motel area leaving the windows open while we slept.

Clean, comfortable, walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Beautiful area. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the bed was too soft for me. Otherwise it was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and well located motel

Very comfortable 60’s style motel with large rooms - small apartments really - located a little more than a block from the bustling village. Tranquil location, accommodating manager and easy on-street parking. I would definitely stay here sgain

We absolutely adore this property! Its prime location puts you just a leisurely stroll away from the stunning beach, delightful restaurants, lively pubs, and fantastic golf courses. The staff consistently exudes warmth and friendliness, making every visit truly special. Each room is a charming sanctuary, fully equipped with everything you need, including plates, cups, dishes, a spacious fridge and freezer, a gas stove, an oven, a microwave, and so much more. After five wonderful stays over the past seven years, we can confidently say that each experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

70s throwback

I always love this place. It’s like stepping back to a 70s apartment with a salt water pool and everything just a short walking distance away.

The location is great, walkable to lots of little restaurants. Property is what appears to be single apartments turned hotel. It’s a little dated but gets the job done. Full kitchen is nice. No TV in the bedroom. No elevator but the stairs are manageable.

The hotel is in a nice location with walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The reason that I have an overall 2 stars is that the living room uses gas for heat and we can smell gas in the morning. I had to turn on the vent, opened the windows and door to clear out the smell. I don’t know if other rooms have the same problem but I will not come back.

A quiet neighborhood that is close to the beach and restaurants. Beautiful neighborhood. Roomy accommodations with living room, kitchen, dining area and bed and bath. Nice retro style. A true gem.

Horrible Blinds for Privacy

The place is quite quaint, but the blinds are terrible. You don't have full privacy, because the blinds show the outside from each sides of the windows and people can see in. It smells like my grandma's house, vintage kinda smell. It was clean tho but very dated.

Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Gave us few tips about the area. We really feel welcomed. I would have given them a five star if not for the shower valve. It was so hard to even switch from shower to faucet. Also, had a hard time figuring out how to set the temperature of the water in the shower. Other than that, we loved the place.
