Pure disappointment! There is no staff. Only someone at desk to check you in and that’s it. No house keeping. We were told to leave used towels on ground outside front door in the morning and they will leave new ones on ground in front of door later in the day. Our particular room was BEAT hard. Floors were sticky, walls were stained, bed had sand in it (at least we think it was sand). There was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The kitchen was a disgrace. They have apparently made repairs to the ceilings in a couple of rooms and failed to paint/finish the ceiling. Rooms were missing baseboards in spots. Kitchen table had a picnic table cloth on it and that was beat and ripped. Just a disappointment. Grass/lawn area had dog/pet feces. We tried looking into other properties once we arrived but most everything was sold out during our stay. When we booked we knew we were heading to a motel with 3.5 stars, but at over $1,000.00 for 3 nights we expected at least the 3.5 stars. If we could have found another place to stay that was a similar drive to the events we were attending we would have walked into this motel and walked right out. My wife has re-named the motel the “Dirty Dirty Driftwood”. Parking is a joke. At check in we were told that parking was difficult and to park on the street aside the mini-golf place and if we park elsewhere - towed! The only thing this motel has going for it is - open up the slider door (which lock mechanism is a sawn off broom stick) is the Ocean.

The room was clean. The ac wasn't as cold as I like, but I like it cold. Didn't have a lot of interaction with staff, as I left our towels outside the door for them to be replaced. Loved the balcony and sitting outside watching the sun come up and the crashing of waves.

Loved being right on the beach, a few steps down from the public playground. Did not like the plastic sheets that didnt stay on the bed. Ultimately it was a great deal for a stay on the beach. The smell of artificial room freshener or cleaner was probably pretty typical but required immediate airing out. Ok for a couple nights.
