Crystal Lodge Motel

Crystal Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent
"I was very impressed with this motel! Reasonably priced, I stayed 2 nights. Old school feel on the outside but the rooms are fully remodeled and updated. Shower had excellent pressure, like a fire hose! The bed was very comfortable. No problems with Wi-Fi, TV worked. A/C worked, also had a ceiling fan. Very clean. NO bugs! Parking was good. The staff was excellent, very attentive and polite. I was in a room that faced the busy street and was concerned about the noise but it really wasn't a problem (double pane windows, perhaps). Very quiet late at night. Decent neighborhood. No people hanging out on the street. Also, there's a great breakfast place down the street, Art's Corner Cafe. I will definitely stay here again!"

"My husband and I love this hotel. It is close to a park, beach, restaurants, shopping. My only complaint is there was not wheelchair available. I fell walking the area and needed one to get the lobby, and then room."

Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

10/10 Excellent
"Our 3 day stay was pure bliss! The breakfast was light and well put together. They offered gluten free bread, as well. The dinner there was amazing! This is not a cheap meal- plan around $200 for four. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The view is 10/10. The only downside- heading South, you have to bypass the hotel and head back up to from another exit. 2. It was humid and I could not figure out if there was A/C. However, this was in September and the weather was perfect... *we don't come from a humid state* This was a core memory for us and our kids."
