This was my 3rd time staying here for the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon. Great staff and conveniently located near finish line area.
2-night trip

2/10

Not what was advertised on the internet. Photo was not even close to what the room was like. Front desk staff was great. Room and overall site was questionable. A lot of transients in the property. Wife did not feel safe.

Bugs in bathroom Bed was comfortable

2/10

The room was dirty, most things were broken and several bugs were found in my bag upon returning home. I would never stay here again for love nor money. The only positive side of this stay was the staff and leaving.

Don't stay here! We booked online and arrived at Reception a few hours later only to decide NOT to stay based on: its dirty (must sign a bed bug waiver); the rooms are not on the beach (2 blocks away); a "lady of the night" was out front trying to book a room/borrow a phone; there were fees that were not disclosed on the booking app; we were not allowed to speak with a manager when we asked to; etc. We have stayed in some pretty rough places but this was too much and we decided to lose the money rather than stay here. You have been warned! (Also, they tried to convince us to upgrade to the beachfront 3-bedroom house for an additional fee, which we also declined).

Great job by the front desk employee. I believe her name was Jessica but not sure. She gave me some of her own flowers as I was celebrating an anniversary.

Very charming and quaint, memories of the 60's and 70's beach place, comfortable beds. Loved how close to the beach it was. Would like to stay there again!

This is a nice motel. The staff is friendly and the location is great. The room we stayed in needed updating, but I noticed other ground fllor rooms were already updated. I woul suggest paying for a nicer room. We had a good stay and will return.

It was a decent spot but it has been run down. Not bad if you’re just getting some rest and a shower. Beds were okay. Linens were clean. Also was not beach front as shown in photos.

No heater in room. Had to request portable heater. Requested 2 days in advance for a refund for 1 day as a doctor changed appointment and would not refund. When arrive they charged a "3rd party" of $45 because booked on Expedia. Originally brought me a tow to use a drain plug in bathtub. Bait and Switch price and no maid service.
