Honestly, for the inexpensive price they charge, my stay was a real treat. Staff is kind and friendly and the bedding was super comfy. What more can you ask for on a quick overnight stay?
Room was cozy, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Comfortable room, accessible parking, great location, affordable accommodation, wonderful staff…what else could one want? I would definitely stay here again.

The first thing was the beaches and the food was very good and the people there are really nice
Check in was easy and the owner and his sine were both super polite and very friendly. I will DEFINITELY be staying there again!! 10 put of 10 and highly recommend this place!!
Good location off main road. Traffic noise and train whistle was loud. Pool was nice, and check in staff friendly. Lots of restaurants nearby. Beaches close by too
Everything was really good and the staff was kind and friendly. The pool area was incredible as well as quiet. The one thing I would say was there were a fair amount of insects in the room

I loves the staff and service! The rooms are just out dated but it's not bad. I wish there were more places to plug stuff into the outlets in the room were all used by stuff in the room being the building is just older. Room was clean just noisy weather the walls are thin or just older building. Noise doesn't bother me but I know some people can't stand it.

Very clean and check in was great. It's a motel. No frills. We had a family cottage. It was 2 rooms; queen bed in one and bunk bed and twin in the other. The door knob to get in is very wobbly, not secure. There are only a couple of oulets. Had to plug phone in bathroom outlet, and had to leave the light on for power. No TV in the 'kids' bedroom. No sitting area, so we had to just all sit on the bed to watch TV. Not very comfortable. If you want a place just to sleep, it is fantastic! If youre going to spend any time in the room, I would book a different place.

Clean, good shower, courteous staff. Outdated but obvious they are slowly making strides in upkeep. Convenient location away from much of the traffic.
Thanks so much you guys do a very good job at making our stay nice. We enjoyed cooking on the grill and swimming. Most comfortable beds we slept on. God bless you and hope you stay busy.
Older room and train nearby, nice pool friendly staff, not to clean in some common areas
