The motel is under renovations, so there are a few good parts (the new bathroom) and a few old and run down parts. The ocean view from the room was very nice. Front office was very helpful.

The king bed and the location are very nice! And the front desk lady was very nice.
Literally on the water front and the beach is very peaceful…
The not so nice… the room was dated… very dated, we suspected some kind mold in the bathroom and woke up to silver fish bugs in the the tub… didn’t really want to use the coffee machine as it didn’t look the cleanest so didn’t want to risk it
It was a one night stay so it was fine… not sure if I would stay long than that

In process of remodeling and we had one of the rooms that were partially done; it will be lovely when completed. The room was very clean and staff very friendly.
Look forward to perhaps staying here again once remodeling is completed.

Good location. The bed was quite comfy and the room was clean. Soundproofing is not ideal (for the lack of better words). If you're not an extreme early bird, you will definitely hear more than you'd like.

It is quite apparent the property is under renovation. It was a comfortable stay but, for pet friendly suites with very slippery floors an area rug would be appreciated..or at least something for the “pet fee”

Lots of loud partying outside on the balconies with zero staff doing anything about it. Also, the room was in poor repair. Definitely over priced at $200/night

Not suitable for a family
There was a group of people in the residence who were smoking, drinking and laughing very loudly until 4AM right behind the door of our room. We asked them few times to move to the other side they went and came back again which was not unexpected as they were so drunk. But the next day we told to the hotel staff and asked for a solution or change of our room and they said that cannot do it and if that happens again we should call the police.
