My family was looking to stay at a place near my Aunt and Uncle's shore house and found this hotel…read more They decided to stay here since one of our cousin's has come here and said it was his go-to place. The motel is relatively clean, I'll give them that. There's what it ends... First of all, we arrived 15 minutes after check-in was supposed to start. My Mom and I had to drive around the parking lot FIVE TIMES at least before we found a spot (second to LAST SPOT in the back of the parking lot). This is due to all the people going to the restaurant next door (The Crab Trap) and using the hotel's parking......... When we arrive, the woman checking in asked for our license plate number, and when my Mom said she wasn't sure, she pretty much demanded that "by tonight", my Mom needed to take a picture of the license plate to show her (we never ended up doing that...). Since we had a lot of bags, I used a luggage cart that they had in the lobby to bring our bags upstairs. The cart was super hard to navigate and the wheels would barely move. It kept crashing into walls and not moving. There is only one elevator in the entire motel, and it runs slow as molasses. (And the elevator is SMALL), it fits 3-4 people comfortably MAX. Any more than that is super super confining and claustrophobic. When we got into our hotel room, the room seemed clean. The remote is covered in plastic (that we were NOT to remove according to the directions). There was also a sign in the bathroom talking about how all everyone raves about their "spa towels" and how they're able to be purchased for a set price. The towels felt SUPER rough... In addition, if any items were missing, they listed an itemized price list of how much you would pay for each item. Once we got in the room, I left the luggage cart outside our room (figuring that hotel staff would grab it and bring it down). Five minutes after we got in our room, we received a phone call on the hotel phone. I answer and the Front Desk asks if I took a cart. When I said yes and that I left it outside the room, she says "Can you bring it down for the other guests to use since there's only three?" Is it normal for hotel guests to have to bring the cart back down??? I almost wanted to ask what their hourly rate was so that they could pay me... Our hotel room also had a door which appears to be a conjoined room. However, we were nervous since the door didn't 100% close within the door frame (or at least didn't look like it), so we were scared someone from next door could come in if they really wanted to. We slept fine in the room (the bed and the pillows were comfortable enough. In the morning, when we were checking out, we went in the elevator and there was a used condom in the corner......... We notified the front desk and they were appalled that they had never seen that in their 26 years of working as a staff member. Also, the cleaning supplies that the maids were using were very very strong and have a sickening powdery chemical smell. It ended up choking my Nana, and she is used to cleaning with bleach which is strong.. All in all, the motel served its purpose (we were only here two nights), but I wouldn't want to come back...

The room was fine for a one-night stay--clean, with a decent-sized bed--but definitely needs finishing touches. There was an unplugged lamp near the door with no outlet in reach, no towel rack or toilet paper holder in the bathroom, and no mirror except one still in its box near the sink. Amenities were incomplete: two tubes of conditioner but no shampoo, a coffee maker and microwave with nowhere to plug them in unless moved, and a refrigerator unplugged without a visible outlet. The heater/AC was noisy enough to turn off for sleep, and the Wi-Fi was virtually unusable in my room. Workers continued construction late at night and early in the morning, even on Sunday. With more time, it should improve--they're clearly making an effort. Don't rule it out.

I would recommend using this hotel as a landmark on your way to a different hotel. The management…read morewas okay but didn't say much. The room itself was damp, sticky and smelled like cigarettes and urine. The carpet, top covers, curtains and chairs were repulsive to touch because of the damp sticky stink wafting off of them. I couldn't even smell the vanilla ozium I sprayed in an attempt to get rid of the smell. The pool was the one redeeming factor. It was small but seemed clean.

We chose this hotel because we specifically wanted a suite. Suites typically have a separate…read morebedroom, otherwise they would be simply called a hotel room. This was not a suite. It was a slightly larger room with a sofa just a few feet away from the beds. Not only was this not a suite, but the bathroom sink was just a few feet away from the bed. If one needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, they would have to awaken everyone in the room by turning on the light to wash their hands. We decided to make the best of it, and looked for ice in our freezer to have a drink (kitchen was also in the one big room). No ice. No ice cube trays. We called the front desk to ask for the location of an ice machine. She told us to move the arm down on our ice maker. We told her there was no ice maker. She insisted there was. We told her again there wasn't. She didn't believe us. She finally offered us some ice from their kitchen, which we had to go get. Breakfast. Wasn't. Apples, cereal, granola bars and packaged, sugary muffins. There was a toaster, but nothing to toast. Even the cheapest motels offer bagels, English muffins or bread. Oh, and they allow animals. If you are allergic, or don't want to hear barking at all hours, stay away. Come to think of it, stay away anyway. They got a star because the bed was comfortable. They also do not provide any service. You need towels, or soap, or anything - come and get it....lol. Don't forget to make your bed.

The backyard was my favorite with the updated hightop table and chairs. The staff is super friendly and professional. I ran out of some items and was able to go to the front desk and get the items. The pool was nice, it was heated and clean. There was a lifeguard on duty and he was super attentive. The outdoor furniture was great and the shower area was always opened when we arrived. You are able to park your vehicle across the street for the days you are there. I was pretty much able to get the same spot on the days I took the vehicle out. I really enjoyed my time here.
