Nice oceanfront location
Pros:

Great location right on the waterfront, although it can get loud and busy in the afternoon because the beach park is popular with local families. It was quiet at night however.
Staff was super friendly, the lobby is very tastefully decorated.
Complimentary paddle boards to use in the very calm bay right across the streets were a great opportunity.

Cons:

Bathroom was dated and could have been cleaner.

Pros:

Comfortable hotel, very clean. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Located across from popular Reed’s Bay park.

Cons:

Nothing they could affect, but traffic noise could be a bit much at times. But not a deal breaker.

Not what I expected
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The common areas were very nice and well cared for. The Koi fish pond was relaxing and beautiful. I loved that you could ride a bike and paddle board for free. Those were nice little touches. They also had board games and books to read in a little “library” area.

Cons:

The rooms left a lot to be desired. They were bare and bleak, small and at one point I was put in a room in what I felt was like a dungeon. I asked for another room that was a bit nicer but still not that nice. This is an old motel that they are trying to make into a resort. They charged a resort fee for a boutique motel. There is no room service. The Coconut Grill that is next door was good but it was not part of the motel. You could not order drinks while you lounged at the pool. For the price, resort fee and from pictures, I expected more. I made the most out of my stay but I would not recommend this motel to anyone for the price that is being charged. There was also construction going on all day.
