Great stay

A very nice motel located on the beach. Needs a few updates but the staff are super helpful and friendly. Has a nice cafe in the back where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also has a nice bar. Met the owners who are great folks and are working to upgrade the property. Will stay here again when we return.

Location salvation

Location cannot be beat. Great restaurant and beach access make this a winner, but don't come looking for fine finishes or furnishings.

2 night stay

The best thing is you have beach access and the cafe is really good. The WiFi did not work and the rooms are very dated and didn’t have a blow dryer. The parking is very limited so if you have two cars you have to find parking for your second car elsewhere. It’s pricey for what it is in my opinion.
Juanita, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best place going! Clean and close to the beach. Wish they had more beach loungers and umbrellas. They should tell visitors about reserving them ahead of time or as you check in.
Arnoldo Giovanni, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient for the beach access and dining near. Limited parking space. Staff and cleaning attendants were great.

Dated

Perfect location on the beach, the Beach Cafe was delicious. The Palms Resort needs an update, old mismatched furniture, rusty doors, coat rack fell off the wall. They provided mineral oil to remove the tar off your feet, that was helpful.
Lisa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice property… parking area very congested-room had an odor from AC unit. Great view of beach area from restaurant.

The property is in a great location. Unfortunately our room smelled really bad; like raw sewage or an old dirty dish rag. We wondered if they were having plumbing issues.

10/10 Exceptional

Great value and location! Older hotel but clean and big rooms. Loved cafe right at the hotel. After birding most the day took walks at the beach and ate most meals at the cafe. Parking was facilitated by a new parking attendant we made sure hotel guests were not squeezed out by cafe guests. We had a brand new king size mattress that was super comfortable. Would stay again.
