Pros:

Absolutely no place to hang clothes, not even a hook! Had a king bed, but only one nightstand. The sink was separate from the shower and tub. Typical amenities were provided on the wall in the shower. However, there was no soap available for the sink. The room was clean and the bed was pretty comfortable. We would not stay there again.

Pros:

The motel is right by the beach (10 min walk) so it’s very convenient. Room was a nice size and very clean, especially for the price. Will come back.

Pros:

This was the perfect getaway, less than a mile to the beach. Affordable. Comfy beds. Nice staff who upgraded us to a downstairs unit as it was difficult for us to climb stairs, which included a free upgrade from double beds to queen beds. Housekeeping staff was very kind and understanding, as we did get a stomach illness during our trip & had to leave the room in a less than desirable condition. All around, would stay here again.

Smallest least comfortable room.
Pros:

Smallest room ever. One chair, no desk or table. Asked for a second chair. Grudgingly gave us a second very odd uncomfortable chair. No closet! Not one single hook anywhere to hang ANYTHING. inadequate lighting. Fan in bathroom needs replacing. Rattles and bangs. Only 2 paper cups for drinks and coffee. Not enough plugins for phones and chargers. No ice machine. Manager unfriendly. Young lady who checked me in was very pleasant. Room not cleaned between the two days of our stay. Asked for a do not disturb sign thinking they might actually clean the room each day which they did not. Grumpily told they didn’t have any such thing. Only positive was it was a clean room when we arrived.
