It was a bad experience due to cleanliness
Cons:

There were roaches and other flying bugs in my room, the tv remote never worked at any point. My Fiancé got bitten up 3/4 times pretty badly. We have photos of everything.

Pros:

Good location for us, very clean, and nice staff.

Cons:

Parking is extremely tight and people double park in fear of getting door dings. This isn't policed by management at all and leads to insufficient spaces for guests. If you want parking, don't arrive too late.

Good option if you’d like to save your money compared to overpriced hotels closer to the beach area
Pros:

Decent option to stay for couple of nights. Motel was refurbished couple of years ago, so it looks better compared to other motels around

Cons:

We had couple of small issues first and second day, like there was no cold water in a faucet, and our room key didn’t word in a second day. But everything was quickly resolved by motel staff

Low price = low quality
Pros:

The price was what I liked & that it was mostly clean. Not much else.

Cons:

Loud road noise, bums in the parking lot, no pool & the staff was not friendly. I had to ask for enough towels for the room. They left us 3 towels, 1 washcloth & 1 hand towel for 4 people for a 5 day stay. It was pretty clean but the walls had some obvious mess on it in a couple spots. The mattress cover was covered in long hairs.
