This place is one to remember! Very clean, cozy and amazing location. 3 minute wall to the beach…read more The owner is very nice and accommodating. I was traveling with 2 small dogs and got very lucky that they're dog friendly. Call and check to make sure they still are though, the owner told me when I checked out that they may not be dog friendly for much longer. I could tell the owner is a big time dog lover but understand her possible future decision to not take dogs anymore, can never tell how responsible of a dog owner one is or how behaved one dog is to the next. Great experience! So glad to have found this gem!!!

We moved back to a regular room when we extended our stay. Both the apartment and motel rooms were clean and well organized. Location is beach adjacent and close to stores and coffee shops.

My boyfriend and I just had a nice 2-night stay at Avenue Motel. The pros: old school motor court…read morecharm, great location, impeccably clean rooms, reasonable nightly rate ($125/night + tax for a room with a queen bed on a weekday), and excellent covid protocols in place. The cons: cozy rooms (but how much time do you spend in your room on vacation anyway?), our shower was slow to drain and left me in a puddle by the time I was done, no fridge/microwave in room (no place to put them, I understand), beds weren't the most comfortable, and a sizeable gap between blinds and windows that would allow people to see in. We hung a sheet over the window to fix this problem. It would be a good idea if the motel added curtains. Despite these few inconveniences, I definitely wouldn't hesitate to return to Avenue Motel in the future.

My biggest problem with this place is that the beds were very clearly not cleaned. There was hair…read moreall over the beds and underneath the sheets before we had gotten in them.

When we asked to move rooms, we were given a tiny apple cider container to "catch" the fruitflies and told we can't move because we'd used the room. We were also told the flies were bad in general. If they knew though, I'm not sure why they didn't give a warning up front. It definitely hadn't been dusted in a while with dust caked on the lampshades. The bathroom light only half worked - but would flip on if you hit the wall next to it. The bedspreads looked dirty with at least one pillowcase having what appeared to be a blood stain. The bathroom had small spots on the ceiling in multiple places that was not apparent if they were tiny bugs or dirt... Honestly, we questioned whether they had bedbugs b/c there were bites on our legs after the first night of sleeping. We had stayed here before and don't remember these types of issues. We're not opposed to old properties, but it clearly hasn't been kept up and it felt really unclean. Honestly, was surprised to see so many recent positive reviews.

If you are a single female, I would strongly consider staying somewhere else, anywhere else, for…read moreabout $5 more per night... I arrived after about four hours travel time from my home location and when I approached the Office I was met by a male front desk attendant, whom initially seemed nice enough. He asked about my reservation and I could visually make out the "erased" penciled-in reservation on a notebook-style reservation book. He told me that my $90 reservation was actually $120. Fun, and Thanks. While taking my information (even though this was initially booked online, cancelled and reserved again with an Agent at the Motel for a different date via phone), the male front desk attendant asked me TWICE if I was "Ok". I'm not sure what he meant by Ok... Was I acting tired, weird, off??? This was approximately 7pm at night. I was one of three cars in the parking lot. I asked the front desk attendant if he knew where the nearest car wash was and he again acted like I was coming from another planet. Dropped off a few items in my room and headed to the car wash, 1/4 mile away. Before I left for the carwash, the woman in the room to the right was outside smoking and talking about her SSI. When I got back from the carwash, the woman in the room to the left of me was outside smoking, talking on her phone and then when back inside her room to yell at a child, which was completely audible in my room. And then there is my room, first floor with two windows... Within about five minutes of arriving back at my "overly rustic" disgusting room, I realized that one of the windows was open (due to a fly buzzing in the window) and then discovered NEITHER of my first floor windows had locking mechanisms. My front door did not have a deadbolt. I was only in the bathroom for a half a second and don't know if there was a third window in there. In addition to nothing looking like it was presented online, aka the hotel family owners who wanted a hotel and five acres for their family to thrive on, I realized I was at the "rape hotel" and everything thing seemed beyond risky. Tried to withdraw my request to stay the night but the front desk attendant was on a dinner break. Dropped my keys in the box and he popped out of nowhere. The front desk attendant offered to put me in a different room but quite honestly, if you are going to put a single female in a first floor room where the windows don't lock, there is no deadbolt and the pictures on the internet look nothing like the actual room with surrounding subsidized rooms for the less fortunate... I was done with the experience. Thanks for the memories, glad I wasn't on the roster of victims that night... I wish I would have taken more pictures but will share the pics I have. Ultimately, I did not respond in time to my challenge from my Cap One dispute. Don't waste your SAFETY, time or money...

It's close to town Walmart just up the street Myers just up the street. there's the family fair. There's a lot of good places to eat. It was very peaceful to be able to return there after the days activities. It's got a nice pool area the spa is heated later in the evening. There's a peaceful little gazebo. You can sit out in. There's also an outside little smoking area. I felt very safe there. I enjoyed my stay there and if I return again next summer for another vacation, I will probably stay there and I liked the prices so again it's a little older, but it was clean and I enjoyed my stay there.

It has a prefab Tub Shower combo, that only goes up about 6', so the normal. There's a desk and small table in the main room. Plus a normal sized hotel room TV. Room also includes a mini fridge! However there's no Microwave. The bed is stiff! My back didn't love it, but I slept decent. There's my normal complaint of hotels, the blackout curtain isn't very good. There's a pool and hot tub outside. So depends on the weather! They have a sign in room that says at this time housekeeping doesn't clean your room during stay, unless you request it. Therefore I didn't put up no disturb sign. However I returned to my room to find it cleaned up! This quite frankly annoys the hell out of me and will affect my ranking! Overall a 3 star review. Would I return? Maybe. First I'd check out other hotels, if they were priced the same I'd try somewhere else first. Also not important, but the key into the room is larger than most by far, weird!
