It's a budget motel so there is only so much you can expect but for the price we paid this is very good value for money. Plenty of choice for breakfast, a pool and hot tub, the room looked like it has recently been decorated. Very much recommended and we would definitely stay here again.
The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The pool is clean and heated at night. The WiFi works good. There is a lot of shopping center walking distance around the area and also food places to eat too.
Great place to stay - very close to all beaches - just a few minutes away. State street shopping district is 15 mins away as well. We had a mini apartment with 2 huge private bedrooms! Love the space!
My family and I had a nice stay here during Spring Break. We really liked that the pool was nicely heated and the wifi was working much better than when we last stayed in December 2025. Would love to see some more breakfast options added such as hot items and hot chocolate for the kids.
I made a last-minute emergency reservation and was pleasantly surprised to find a nice clean room and compassionate, caring front desk employees that understood my late arrival.
I would stay again.
It is clean, the bed is comfortable, and the staff was nice. The location is beautiful. The AC is a bit loud, and it might be slightly expensive for what it offers.
Super tight quarters no air , basic fan if you want to leave door open , 1 window in bathroom . Location price , happy hour . Room with king bed had 2feet around bed and walls
We had a spacious, clean, quiet room with decent bed and pillows. Pros: great lighting, good shower, good AC, Great coffee. Cons: breakfast had no cooked foods, only packaged. All-in-all it was a good value.
Front desk check in Excellent. Advised us of all amenities. Gave us a map of the area and explained how to get where we wanted to go downtown.
Breakfast was a hearty continental.
Room was clean and Roomy.
Only complaint was the construction noise
The gentleman who checked us in was very kind. This is a clean, comfortable place to lay your head. Nothing luxurious but was perfect for a good nights' rest. The bed was comfortable. There is a basic continental breakfast offered.
