It’s a motel. Overall clean but worn looking. The beach is right across the street and crossing is fairly safe. Great for the price.
Nothing fancy, but a nice place to stay. Parking is tight, but doable. We stayed 1 night before going on a cruise, had no issues. Room was clean, bed was fine. Ac was working good. All in all, we would stay again.
Location is great. Air conditioning was great. Room was very small and very old and dated. It wasn’t bad by any means but it was extremely expensive for what it was.
You can walk directly across the street to the beach. Down the road to local restaurants/bars. But if you want to really have fun take the ferry to Crystal Beach and hang out or drive down to The Stran it's pretty cool too!
Friendly staff. Nice view of the Ocean and love that there was FREE beach access parking right in front of the room.

My room was ready when I got there at 12pm. That was great. The location was great. Right of the sea wall, and close to the boardwalk.

It is a very tight room hard to move around if there is more than 1 person. The beds are the worst part of the place they are so hard it’s like sleeping on the floor it took me a week to stop hurting after I left. The place is fine overall especially just for a place to sleep( except the beds make it so you can’t sleep). The room was fairly clean we did have water bugs coming out of the shower drain at times. We were by the storage room so there was a lot of banging in the middle of the night. Staff was not friendly in the least they are stone faced and do not look happy to be there. Location is good. View is good. No amenities just ice maker. Probably wouldn’t stay again. But if you just need a place to crash at night decent place for a decent price. Just remember you get what you pay for ;)
We read other reviews and knew what to expect and were ready for everything. Room and property grounds were clean. Lots of parking even though it was a holiday weekend.
