Good hotel, wish the front desk was better.
Great location and nice hotel.
Not the best front desk service. They charge a “resort fee” when you show up (after you’ve paid the full price). Very slow and received a finger from the attendant telling me to wait as he answered the phone to book someone for about 10 minutes after I had been waiting in line behind another group for 10 minutes.
Overall, good experience. Just some slightly unimpressive customer service.

Not the most fancy place, but a clean comfortable hotel with a pool and step down to the ocean! Plus a kitchenette!!! Perfect to make your own meals and enjoy outside around the pool! Very friendly staff!

The room was large and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and the price was very reasonable for an oceanfront motel. I would definitely stay there again.
