Loved it! They had last minute availability, the staff was flexible and accommodating. The motel room was very clean, had a kitchen with plates and pans provided, a flat screen tv, a little fireplace, etc. Overall was better than expected for such a cheap price.

Fun Cabana Style and Great Location
Close to where we needed to be and surrounded by beaches and restaurants. Old school cabana vibe and very large rooms. Could be a little cleaner and needs some updating but overall it was a great place to stay. The kitchen & Fridge were great as well.
