Staff was awesome friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and walking distance to beach.
It's a modest place, but it has everything you need to have a good stay, the price per night is very affordable, and the location is very convenient, just a few steps from the beach.
Was not a 5 star hotel, Inn, or motel...BUT it was clean, staff was friendly and parking was safe! It was a nice place for a beach weekend! I will do again!
No pet
Beach view was good
Room was ok had a few issues but got them

Nice stay!
Loved staying so close to the beach and enjoying time with my boys at the beach! Nice distance away from a store and the beach! Will definitely come again!
I love how close to SurfSide beach this hotel was! It was in walkable distance, and it was very convenient! Would absolutely recommend! The staff were extremely friendly, and we had no issues.

Not a holiday inn, but it is definitely worth the money and right on the beach, we stay often, it’s a little run down, but clean, and never seen any bugs.
For the price, and for being on the beach you can’t beat it. Jamie the new girl was really friendly, everyone has been pretty nice

Always a good stay. You get what you pay for and it is perfect for our family. The staff are always so kind and accommodating.
The lady that checked us in was very friendly. The room smelled of cigarette smoke. The floors were sandy,the toliet had not been flushed. When about to brush our teeth we realized that there was still toothpaste on the faucet. I am beging to think the room wasn't even cleaned.This place needs a major overhaul.

This is located really close to the beach which is great because I’m disabled. Walking to the beach was fairly easy. This place is being remodeled so keep in mind that it’s got a way to go. The rooms are small and my family of 4 were tripping over each other. However, it was enjoyable and I will be going back as the staff is very friendly and helpful.
I always enjoy my stay. This is an older, nostalgic motel. The price is right, the staff is friendly and courteous.

Ms. Rebecca was great. Property wouldn’t satisfy someone expecting hotel but was very nice beach motel stay. Very convenient right on the beach. Would definitely stay again.
Happy place right by the beach with the chill vibe
I am just reviewing the first part of our stay which has been a month, but it has been excellent! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and Rebecca baked my daughter a wonderful huge birthday cookie and they sang happy birthday to her which has never happened anywhere that we’ve stayed before. We are going to be Staying here for the duration of the winter and are very happy to do so.

Everything was perfect for what I wanted as I had my 2 kids for the week. We were literally walking distance to the beach the room was clean, tv and air con worked as expected and service was good. Everything is not that far away and my kids were happy and had a good time there. Definitely go there again.

This is an older property that is loved by so many. The price is right, the rooms are clean, the staff is exceptional. Great customer service. We love the outdoor seating area, and being able to walk to the beach. There is a small store next door with a huge collection of exactly what you need! This retro motel is a blast! And pet friendly! Thanks for having our family as guests again and again! We love yall!
