Nice room for a great price.
DEBRA, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The fact that it’s right next door to The Lazy Pirate is convenient but can be a problem bc parking for the motel is tough to find bc diners of the restaurant take stops from the motel. Also it can get noisy at night. Room was great and we enjoyed the pool area. Couldn’t find a hair dryer but no big deal, just bring one with ya, more towels put in the rooms would be great. Walkable to plenty of restaurants and other things.
Christy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love this place! Had a wonderful time, Clean,Quite with the slight exception of the music from the bar at times was loud but promptly quiet at midnight. And within .3 of a mile from all the attractions, So well within walking distance. I'm definitely going to keep coming back.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff was great. Room and property was clean. Great location to walk to restaurants bars shops and the beach. There was a large group present that created some issues and they had to shut down the pool. But had that not been the case it was perfect especially for the price. Management apologized profusely. On a busy road with lots of activity but room was very quiet with door shut. I would stay again
