    My girlfriend and I wanted to do a spur of the moment afternoon kayak adventure. We pulled up to Dave greeting us. The service was great and we were in the water within minutes. The kayaking was great! Exploring the sandbars and showing my girlfriend(from North Dakota) the Salt Life. Thanks! We will be back, and staying at your place rather then the big chain hotel.

    This little hotel is a great place to stay for a weekend getaway. It's located right on the water front. The owner Dave is a great guy and will do anything to accommodate your stay. Everything is clean and it appears that Dave works hard to take care of the property and that he loves what he does.

    This review is more of a 3.5. I booked here for work and the prices were Atleast $20 cheaper than…read morethe comparable hotels/motels close by. This hotel is located off of a highway overlooking a trailer park at the ocean. You see golf carts driving by and a glimpse of the water. The lady working there was very friendly after I struck up a conversation. What I despised about this place is the fact that their fitness room opens at 8am. Why in the world would it not be open earlier than that? Most people have to be at work at 8 and work out at 530 or 6 am. So, that was a big miss. They do have a pool which was actually pretty nice but don't do as I did and expect their to be pool towels outside. You must bring your own towel. They serve breakfast from 730-9 and it was a continental breakfast plus a circle egg patty and sausage. The hotel has rusty doorknobs and doors and definitely needed some TLC. The chair in the room for the desk to work on was one of the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever sat in. The shower was a very cheaply made shower. The bed was comfy but the way they did the sheets was weird. Nothing was tucked in so it came apart. The room was very clean and the TV had a lot of stations So if you are looking for a reasonable hotel for the family and not looking for luxury but not a Motel 6, this is your place. I would go back again for work, too. I just don't get the fitness center hours. Doesn't make sense. Oh, one last thing- the internet is extremely slow!

    Rooms are very spacious. Amenities were great. Our room was very clean and smelled great upon…read morearrival. Most of the staff was very friendly! All except for, the older woman at the front desk, Jackie, who was seemingly annoyed to do her job all while gossiping to staff about guests as well as other staff members. She wasn't aware I could hear her I'd hope. Just left a bad taste. I could never judge people on appearance that way. The stay itself though was great! Comfortable bedding, timely midstay housekeeping, and a nice breakfast spread.

    Naturally, I thought I would be able to see the ocean from my room. I can, but just barely. They…read moreare not on the beach. This is a straight forward motel. The mattresses are new and comfortable. The place is clean. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The office staff is pleasant. The air conditioner/ heater works fine. The housekeeping staff does a good job and is responsive to my needs. The bath/shower is slippery and there are no grab bars. The sink is too low. The exhaust fan in the bathroom makes a horrible grinding noise. Maybe its the best they can do, but the selection of tv channels is lousy. I wouldn't bring a child here. There is no pool and no place to play. If you are a sophisticated adult, there's no place for you to play either. I'm retired, and I'm bored out of my mind. There is a fishing pier. I don't fish, but I guess I could walk to the end, sit down and dangle my feet in the ocean. It's expensive, and completely not worth it. I do not recommend.

    This was one of the worst hotels I've seen. Their website has staged photos that don't represent…read morewhat you'll actually get. The website doesn't have any photos of the exterior, and for good reason--you wouldn't book it if you saw where you'd be staying. The ceiling in our bathroom had a lot of mold. Our room was infested with flies. The hotel exterior was ghetto. Staff shortages limited daily housekeeping to just the delivery of towels. I spent the entire weekend apologizing to my girlfriend.
