The rooms were not clean, apparently they did not change the sheets, they did not even look at the the bathroom to clean them, and the smell of cigarettes and marijuana in the room was unbearable.

Stayed on 2nd floor this time. Got the "Beach view" instead of "ocean view" . Deluxe riom .. bed was soooo comfortable!! Had stiv5e and refrigerator. Great view from window. For the price you wont find a place right by the ocean for a better price.

Broken TV; broken window blinds; felt unsafe; front desk uncaring and unwilling or unable to change our room; I felt we had to leave and find accommodations elsewhere, which cost us an additional $150; requesting full refund. Thank you.

The toilet was leaking from the time we arrived, the room itself was DISGUSTING when we walked in. We weren’t given any additional linen and housekeeping NEVER came. There was a van stationed next to the parking lot watching us every time we came outside, not to mention all the drug addicts surrounding the Inn. I will NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN! I DO NOT RECOMMEND BOOKING! Only good thing is we were walking distance of the beach.

All of the bedding was dirty. Requested clean bedding. They brought me a bag of new bedding and left it at my door. It was still dirty. There was trash all over outside, including a broken down trailer that was overflowing with junk. There were broken chairs and other miscellaneous garbage on the path down to the beach.

I have used that motel for many years, I go with my family every year, I go up to 3 four times in the summer And now it was a very bad experience because I found it very dirty, there were a lot of drugs, dark-skinned people with weapons and for the family, I think which is not very healthy, there was a couple having sex in front of us in the car, it was a very bad experience.
