I got a room for a very low price. They even let me check in early at no charge! They are in the process of remodeling and the room I got looks amazing, the bathroom is all marble floors and walls! There is no air fan in the bathroom but you can crack the window to let it air out a bit. The room I got came with a TV with cable, microwave and mini fridge. Everything is totally new and clean! The room also has the A/C box under the window like you would typically find in motels and the heater works great. It is pretty cold out side when I stayed here so I didn't really test out the A/C. The ceiling light is an LED bulb so it's nice and bright, not that yucky yellow color. The beds are great and the carpet they put in is really eye catching. Over all I was very surprised with the motel room I got for the price I paid. I would definitely choose to stay here again in the future.
If your main goal is for a place to crash that is very close to the beach, this is it. For the deal here it’s not bad what you get, AC, TV, SM fridge, microwave, hot water, towels, comfortable bed, shampoo, soap and toilet paper. All BASIC needs covered! Just be careful you get a room next to the Bar next door it can be noisy up to 2 am. Bring ear plugs just in case. I’ve paid my room with Expedia, no problem at all during Check-In. Parking can be a little tricky but all ok.
