The managers of the property at Gulfway were friendly and helpful. The motel is older but clean and a great location for bird watching and beach walking. Food was excellent!

It was very close to all of the birding locations and some great food spots. Sadly the facility lacks greatly in what they have to offer. The TVs for both rooms did not work and the pool was shut down.

Very bad service.

Too old. Smells, bad service. It's too old and smelling. Nothing happened there. Not much to eat, very little business there.
