At least the beds were comfy
The room was so tiny. There was barely room to walk with 2 queen beds a mini fridge and a mini desk. The beds were comfy. There was no staff on site when we checked out. The link to do check in and check out did not work. People were screaming and playing at pool at 3am

This was a quaint little motel in a busy area. It was pretty quiet most of the time. The room was very clean and well kept. I would recommend to the staff to put in a few more outlets and ask for a microwave.

Check-in/out easy. Staff friendly. Room 2 queens very clean, mattress/pillows excellent, room cleaning at request, towel exchange easy. Noise level was minimal. Uber/Lyft can easily get you where you need to be. We didn’t have a vehicle but motel had assigned spots. We didn’t have time to use the pool, but the area around s the pool was very clean and the water was clear; other guest were using the pool. Overall i would give 2 thumbs up 👍 👍. We would definitely stay here again .

Saltwater pool was very nice! Rooms were clean and super charming. Staff was unbelievably helpful as I left an item behind after checking out and they stuck around to ensure I could retrieve it when I had to drive back to get it. Very cute exterior and super secure.

Most loudest hotel I have been and horrible wifi
Very noisy hotel due to the air conditioner and location. Air conditioner sounded like jet engine and the room is not insulating for any sound since there is clear gap and is facing directly to the road. How to ask any service through phone or email since no one is around mostly. Room is not clean and smells lots of chemicals. WiFi service is horrible! There is guest WiFi channel but it is always down. Luckily connected one or two times, but dropped a couple of minutes later. Hall way is always full of waters due to room air conditioner units and hall way is completely exposed to the outside. One good thing is check in and out. You do not need to see any agent at all. Well there was none after all. I would not come back to this hotel. Well actually it is motel, not a hotel.
