Take your own pots and pans as well as garbage bags. Last day of my stay I saw mice in my room and could not sleep all night long. Its a good location and during check in the person on the desk was very nice. But overall the motel is very old, run down, smelly, dirty and looks shady. The kitchen and bathroom had no vents! Fire alert! Also no microwave and no dishwaher. The walls shake when neighbours slam/open doors, 0 security - I would not bring small children here. Our 2 bedroom suite only had AC in one room, it was terribly hot at night and we could not open balcony as there were so many bugs all over the place and NO housekeeping at all. Cobwebs everywhere and smells of piss. Rates were reasonable, but hygene was a BIG issue. If your prepared to \"rough-it\" and ready to face rodents/etall go ahead - otherwise spend a bit more and go for a better equipped motel closer by. Area has many amenities, awesome beaches, shopping and hiking.

The whole property is run down and not kept properly. The carpets are old and smelly. There’s an old tobacco smell. When we went to the room assigned to us our allergies started acting up and there was no safety lock in the room. It looked like it had been removed. We went back to the reception desk, but nobody was there. Also called the phone that was posted on the door, but no one answered. We just left a message that we were leaving and left the keys in the box.
Very disappointed that Expedia suggested this place. Fortunately we Found something cheaper and much better.

Staff was friendly. But this is simply an old, run down facilty that needs a lot of work.

Rooms had the bare bones amenities.
It appears to be more of a long term stay type of place. I think many of the guest lived there.

Walls are very thin, and you could hear all the conversations (though there was lots of yelling) through the walls and doors.

The smell in the room was STRONG. Powerful scent from some type of disinfectantor deodroizong spray i believe. Had to open all windows every time we went in to the room to alleviate the smell.

Its one of the cheapest options in a tourist area. You get what you pay for.

Staff were great, but the friendliness only takes you so far when the place is in such bad shape.

But hey, it was dry, there was power and hot water. The money I saved on the rooms (which we really only used for sleeping and getting ready to go out) was used towards some nice dinners and shopping.

It was dirty and awful. The room smelled terrible. The bathroom wasn't clean and the floors had hair on them. Do not stay here. You would do better to sleep in your car. The shower was disgusting and the shower lever to turn on the shower was broken. The curtain was bad and there was no bath mat. The hotel itself was dirty and dusty. Wish we had never stayed here and wish we could have got our money back. AWFUL!!!

Great for pet accomodation with green space but 3floor walk up so not great for accessibility. Staff were welcoming and friendly and beds were comfortable and clean. Toilet and sink were clean. Floors felt grimy, duct tape used for repairs in tub, door didn't latch consistently (had to double check the latch). Room and building generally run down.
Room was a little apartment with kitchen which was nice to have space but did not have a coffee maker nor coffee cups.
No garbage containers in room, toiletries were just 2tiny bars of soap. No hairdryer as pictured.
Fighting heard late at night, many guests seemed to be struggling long term tenants. Noises were not from dogs but unhappy people.
Price was much lower than other places and only place that will accommodate pets.
We would likely not stay again as it did not feel safe and cleanliness could be improved.

I liked that the beds were in separate rooms and the beds were comfortable. Also, it was a full apartment if that’s what you are needing. We were just there for sleeping one night. The rooms were clean as well.
Unfortunately there was quite a bit of noise in the hallway during the night and it echoed into our room. The property was all a bit rundown but we just needed a place to sleep without spending a fortune. You get what you pay for.

Check in was quick. Room was clean but there is no fan in the washroom and the cleaning staff left behind the previous soap and shampoo. I didn’t need to use any cause I had my own but it was yucky to look at. It’s an apartment/motel building so there were a lot of people around. Not bothering anyone or noisy so it’s not a complaint. Just to be aware for people out of town.

Bring your dog ...for security

The sand castle was ok considering they do except pets. We expect a little less for this reason so are stay was ok to good. The halls carpets are very stained., the rear entrance door was not locked, and rooms have a keyed knob and no deadbolt. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Overall we had a quiet restful night.

Cons: Mattress and linen had stains. No hair dryer in bathroom. Walls have many holes/loose boards. Tub faucet taped back onto wall. Smelled extremely extremely strongly of cigarette smoke. Floors had crumbs and were clearly not vacuumed. Stayed for two days and did not receive room service/ refill on towels and linens.

Pros: management very friendly and helpful. Answered all questions my partner and I had. Cheap pricing and located in an area with decent shopping and eating. Close to the beach (15 min drive). Good place to stay if you are out all day and just need a place to sleep.
