They booked us beside a room under construction. Construction hammering  into our wall woke all of us up at 8:30am. It was so loud we good barely hear each other talk. Complained to front desk and their response was they waited till 8:30am whats the problem? Constant hammering continued until 10:30am. No manager on site to compensate for the inconvenience and have contacted through email and phone call and management has not bothered to respond to our complaints. On top of this the tv didnt work, there was no bedding for the sofa bed that two of our guests slept on, we had to use our own dishes as not enough were stocked for the amount of people we had and they were still dirty from previous guest. We stay in island motels every summer and this was the most expensive and worst experience. Save your money don’t stay here.

Terrible experience

Arrived with confirmation & told no rooms. Intentionally overbooks water front property so they can fill their other properties in area. When "sold out" still advertise rooms available, fraudulently.

Unethical Business Practices

Great location easy walk to the beach. Medium accommodation for the night. They upgraded us to a king bed and it was very comfy. Pet friendly except on second floor but that was okay. Would stay again.

Worth a stay

This was a great place for a getaway the front desk lady was so nice. We got there and were surprised by an upgraded room at no extra cost. This motel is close to everything. Very nice view comfy beds good wifi. Only complaint is there could've been a frying pan in the room but we could've also brought one. We'll definitely be back.

A relaxing getaway.

We arrived late in the evening and trusted the positive reviews. In hindsight we should have read the negative ones as they are 100% believable. 
The furniture and carpet are quite filthy. I would not sit on the sofa or step barefoot on the floor. The bed and the bathroom were cleaned, but still had the appearance of a cheap place.
The walls are so thin that you hear every movement above and beside you. We hardly slept that night. There was a lot of drinking (and drugs?) going on. The management is absent at night and there is no security. We felt very unsafe. 
This place is poorly managed and not worth the price. We won't return.

Never again!

Room was overall clean and tidy but very old and had not been maintained. Beach area poorly maintained and garbage scattered around. Hot plate only and one element did not work. We were booked for 2 days and checked out after one day due to unsuitability for our family and were refused a refund. $400 for 2 queen beds for each night, very expensive for what was offered. Will not return  
Motel management very uncooperative and tardy at returning calls and emails, in fact have not responded to most recent at all.

No refund

So I booked the wrong hotel online, and was a little apprehensive when we checked in. Was I ever wrong the owner offered an upgrade to the cabin closest to the beach. This is a little hidden gem. Yes the hotel is dated but it’s clean and is right on the beach.

Hidden Gem

We ended up needed a last minute place to stay for the night, during our week touring the Island, after getting married. We had our dog, so we had offered to pay a pet deposit, and they said it wasn't needed. They upgraded us to a large suite over looking the ocean and offered us a free round of mini golf. Being tired; we didn't end up making the mini golf, but being able to accomodate us last minute and offer us a upgrade was very kind and appreciated.

Just Married Island Adventure

Pros: nice location, beautiful ocean view, nice kitchen with fridge, and included a round of mini golf down the road. 

Cons: poor maintenance, noisy dogs barking all around, expensive, and no paper towels in kitchen. We contacted front desk about issue in bathroom and they said that maintenance would come next day to fix- they did not. The landing on the stairs broke and was reported by several people but it took them all day to even put up flagging tape to keep people away. It was VERY DANGEROUS.

Did not meet expectations

Higher prices are outrageous. New owners are just plain greedy. I have been going to this motel for decades, loved the beach and the view, but since COVID I have not had the chance to go again, and now I won't be, because of the terrible prices per night and greedy owners.
