Staff were really nice. Roxy was very sweet and pleasant. Outside the building looks very nice, up to date. Inside though, I hate to say it but it just looks like lipstick was put on a pig. Maybe you should've spent a little more money fixing up the rooms as much as you did the Outside.

The staff was very friendly and kind! The beach was a short walk away and the bonus of free mini golf and coffee next door were great. The unit was clean but cupboards and furniture definitely need refreshing as they are rundown.

Paid too much for what is basically a motel. It is nicely renovated and the room was clean. Practical little kitchen. There is a beach nearby but you have to go across the campground or through the next door hotel to get to it. Free mini golf next door. Nice patio area to sit outside with tables and barbecue. Disappointing to see people lie on the L-shaped sofas like they were alone in the world leaving no room for others. The rooms behind the motel have a sitting area. When I got there, the person before me paid substantially less per night and he was next door. I could not understand why we paid more. I was told it's because we booked through Expedia and that rates change each day.
