It was Dirty! Didn’t even come close to looking like the pictures. I will never stay there again . We had no water the last day . We had to cancel our plans because we couldn’t shower . We were going to be charged for an extra day if we stayed to see if the water was going to get fixed. The place is need of serious TLC! Over priced for sure ! Added only a few pictures . Spider webs and spiders everywhere. Had to duck in order to get in . Puck on the deck !

Overnight meh
Extremely small room was fairly clean, but really dated. Shower was dripping and was musty. Sink was too stopped up to use much and it took overnight to drain. One lamp was not plugged in, and the other had nowhere to plug it in. Alarm clock didn't work. Microwave had no clock. No charging area for devices, and not enough outlets. Internet connection didnt work. Toilet ran most of the time. It was only one night and the bed was comfortable, but we won't go back.

4/10 Fair

The rooms were in poor shape. Our tv did not work, you could see outside around the window a/c unit, there were no hangers for clothing, there was a torn shade above the toilet, the tile around the tub needed caulking and there was no shower head (just a pipe coming out of the wall). For the price we paid, we were truly disappointed. We will not be staying here again.

Run down
The motel is not clean and run down. The shower was covered in mold and unusable. The patio was peeling paint everywhere. The picnic table was peeling paint everywhere as well. The toilet was completely rust stained. Carpeting had several stains.

A little rough but super clean!
The carpet was ripped & the room was a little shabby but it was super clean. My husband took his ultraviolet light to it & found very little to worry about. The house keeper was super nice. It is old & has not been updated probably ever but $59 a night on the beach, can't beat the price. It was pretty sound proof, we never heard our neighbors. If you don't need luxury it's a great place! We will be back.

Lack of maintenance, lousy A/C, shower head broken, bed lights broken, toilet runs constantly. Nothing a good fire wouldn’t fix. ‘Way overpriced, even for the location and season.

Overall it was a good time. Wish they would update the rooms and maybe make the beach more accommodating. Add more chairs. The staff were very nice.

Needs TLC
This motel has a terrific view of the bridge BUT it is in such bad need of TLC. Air conditioner, way up high so it can’t be turned on my many of us and had a lady from next room to help me. Tile in shower is all coming apart. Just not easy access to plugs. Bed not bad .Someone needs to take over this place and care about renovating it.

If I could give zero stars I would. The place had mold in bathroom on the tiles, floors, and ceiling. The place has not been updated since it’s been built. The water smelt like mold and the AC unit had mold in it and smelt of mold when on. We left after 1 night and decided to loose out on the money. We have a baby and found pills on the floor. Thankfully we got them before she did. Staff could have cared less Never stay here.
