It was kind of an odd entry way. It seems a bit run down but still had hotel charm

8/10 Very good

Everything was pretty clean in our room other than a dirty broom left inside and a couple spiders hanging out by the tub. Other than that everything was very clean, staff was very nice and understanding, and the hotel was quiet. It was very peaceful.

The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was comfortable, I would stay again, but i do not like the $100 deposit plus paying for the room. The deposit was for in case I smoked in the room. They need to get rid of that.

Good place

Arrived at 1am. Nice place, easy check in. Took photocopy of CC and DL, which I don’t like. Makes me nervous. But good stay and no complaints otherwise
Anthony, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Wouldn’t stay again

Pretty sure the deadbolt did not engage all the way as it would only go partway over. The glass sliding doors had the old style lock on it and no safety bars so it did not feel secure. There was food in the refrigerator left. The sheets were stained really bad. The bar I’m in the shower was missing. There was a hole in the bathroom door.

Nice staff, pleasant stay. Older aging building.

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.
Anthony, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Should have went to La Villa up the road

Unexpectedly fees of 100$ deposit which I never received back.. nothing in the room is worth 100$.. uneven lumpy floors.. stopped up shower drain.. tv did not work.. ac barely running.. gross pillows. Horrible stench I’m out clothes after 11 hours here.. stay was unbearable.. will update if I get my deposit back but I’m highly doubtful

The facilities are always clean and the lines and towels always smell clean and fresh.

As outdated as this place is, you might be concerned, but the sheets were amazingly clean and fresh and the rooms were decent for the price.

This is a small, family-run property. They are doing a lot of work to update it. It was perfect for our overnight stay as a family!

Worst EVER!!!!

We walked into the hotel, which felt like an "rent by the hour" hotel. Hotel smelled. Walked into room and flipped on the main light switch by the door, didn't work. Had to hunt for another light. Sheets were stained on one of the beds. Room had a "mildew" smell and the humidity was horrible. TV remote did not work. The TV was stuck on ROKU and could not get the cable box to work. The blankets on the bed are basically tissue paper. We were in the room for about 30 and just decided to leave. It was already late and I did not feel like confronting the staff there. Tell you what....STAY AWAY! RUN! Stay somewhere else! HOTELS.COM should take this hotel off their platform.
Don, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good value for the price. The building is a bit run down but my room was clean, comfortable, and quiet and the manager was nice.
Kris, 1-night trip

Staff is great, but property is very old one
Mahesh, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Parking is convenient and the building is clean inside and outside. The rooms are comfy and clean and free of smoke smell. The linens smell clean and fresh. The bathrooms are clean and all the white surfaces are white and towels are neatly folded.

The lot was well lit and seeable from my room.

Fisherman’s friend

The gentleman at the front counter was incredibly accommodating and kind. Although the building appears old and outdated, it was actually quite clean. This isn’t someplace I would take my family on vacation, but for old fisherman that just needs a few hours of sleep in between sets it was perfect and priced right!
