    The bathroom was a bit small and could use more counter space. Not a big deal though. Also, when arriving at night, we could not find the entrance. We ended up in a dark/shady parking lot that obviously was not a hotel. Once I called, the woman was very helpful and explained where to go. More emphasis needed on hotel signage.

    Beach theme is always a hit with me. The room was slightly outdated but clean. The bed was comfortable. Just a short walk to beach access!!!

    There was too much light from outside - all night - coming into the room. A black out blind would have sufficed.

    Room was exceptionally clean and newly decorated, though crowded with too many beds!

    -Only one toilet for our six people. There are extra bathrooms on the property, but they were locked when we needed them. It would be nice if guests had access to those when the office is closed. -There is extra street noise in this unit. However, if you wear yourselves out at the beach, the street noise probably won't bother you as much at night. -Even with these two issues, we have already made our reservations for this same unit next summer. 😀

    We stayed in Suite A, with three clean queen bedrooms, one bath, large living room/dining room and a full kitchen. The beds were comfy (three levels of soft, medium, and a firm to choose from). Would be nice if the bedrooms had TVs, but we (husband and grandson) survived with just one in the living room.

    The bed was to firm for our preference - but some folks might enjoy a firm bed.

    We stayed in Room #4 - king bed, nice shower. Coffee bar (Keurig) was nice with two stools. The room was very clean. Staff was great.

    No coffee cups in room. Office was CLOSED. Had to drive to McDonalds. Also....What I didn't like, was that I booked my room almost 4 months ahead and they called me at check in time to tell me they were cancelling my room, due to the AC not working. :( After a nice conversation, they ended up letting me keep my room, and giving the next person a free room with fans for the night. Still extremely irritating, that I would have been the first person they called to cancel, when several of my friends had just booked that week or the week before. That process was pretty bad on their part.

    There were curly hairs from whoever stayed there prior to us in the shower and their furniture needed replaced. They could use a new paint job in room 9 and also the hot water situation was awful. Took forever to warm up and when it did it was extremely hot and only for a few then it got cold again.

    Good location

    Room was great. The only problem was the light coming in every window. Woke up at 12:47am thinking we were late to get in our fishing boat... but that is just me. Everything else was wonderful... the only thing else i can say something negative about is, even if you are staying at the hotel, you still have to wait on table to eat.. which took forever. Seems like guest would be the first to seat. But love the waitresses, so perfect and running like crazy. Please tip these girls good yall. They deserve it.

    There was a nice bucket in the room, but there was no ice machine on the property. It would be nice to have access to an ice machine. The tub and sink in the bathroom also did not drain well. The toilet also got stopped up a couple of times.

    The motel is convenient to many different attractions. I like that there is a restaurant/bar on the property.

    We had issues with the Wi-Fi.

    We were in #6. Loved the “kitchenette” area, layout of the room and amenities. It was very clean. We could hear the music from the restaurant but it wasn’t that loud and was done by 10pm. It was an easy drive to the downtown area and great access to the beach. The restaurant was also very good and reasonable.
