Liked: Cleanliness
Overall a pretty good place to stay. We did have several problems with our door card, and no, we did not have it next to anything magnetic, and we kept it in the paper sleeve. You should be aware that they do not offer room service every day so if you need extra towels, you’ll have to call them and they will bring them for you. The pool was very clean and refreshing and it’s a very short drive to the beach.

Didn't care for the trailer trash that seemed to be living there. Excessively loud music , smoking and drinking at the pool , including pot , were very loud , obnoxious and rude.

Pleasant Staff/ HOT room
The staff is very friendly. The room was clean, but smelled bad & was very basic to be so costly (Paid $576 for 2 nights but only stayed one). The a/c did not cool the room at all, so it was an expensive night to sleep hot. The motel was full & I returned to the room very late so trying another room was not an option. I did notify them at the desk in the morning at check-out and they were pleasant but I was not offered any compensation for a very uncomfortable stay.

Hot
After checking in we discovered our AC didnt work. It took some time but we were finally able to change rooms. The AC in the second room barely cooled. We were told they had no other available rooms. They wouldnt provide extra towels for the pool, only the ones in the room. We had a double room and only had 3 towels that was meant to be used for pool and showering. Definitely not worth the almost $250 we spent for one night stay.
