The staff was very friendly, the room was very clean, and for the price it was an awesome value. I will be staying there again on the way home. Also there was a restaurant next to the hotel, forgot its name, but they cooked my snapper my way, it was great, and for a great price.

Great if you like bedbugs

When we arrived, the property is definitely less than stellar. However, the staff was very friendly so we gave it a try. That evening, I felt a bug on my neck and inspected it to be a bedbug. I pulled the sheets back and found two more dead bugs we exited immediately. No compensation or apologies offered by the staff.

Blew my expectations right out of the water! In spite of the reviews, I was expecting, based on the outside appearance and location, something cut-rate and riddled with stains, bugs and noisy guests. To my surprise, everything was spotless! A level of clean expected from a property at 4 or 5 times the price was present at Traveler's Choice. While dated, the room was precisely as pictured and described. No stains anywhere, on anything. No signs of insects at all. Easy, friendly and knowledgeable check-in, room to park the obnoxiously long rig I was pulling, ample linens, very quiet, super hot water in the shower and comfortable enough beds made for a great start the next morning.

After checking the room to much sure thing was tidy, we later learned that the room was seriously unclean and not safe to stay in. It was blood on the sheets and bed, and trash under the mattress. I was completely unsatisfied with my room.

Basic stay - the price was right

This place was okay. The price was probably about $20/night cheaper than anything else in the area, but in hindsight, I would probably just choose to spend the extra money. I chose it because it was reviewed well, but frankly, I think the numbers on this one were a bit inflated.

It's a nice local establishment. Very basic, but clean and in good working order. The beds were squeaky and hard, but the pillows and bedding were good. There was a nice power strip for charging devices, as well as a fridge and a microwave. Breakfast consisted of coffee, fresh mandarins, granola bars, and an assortment of baby pastries - as the front desk staff explained it: "a breakfast snack." You're meant to take it back to your room. The seafood restaurant that shares the parking lot is a great place for dinner, and the beach that's just 15 minutes down the road is free and uncrowded. I wouldn't want to spend more than a night here, but it's a viable inexpensive option if you're passing through.

Horrid

This place was absolutely horrible. Dirty roadside motel with barely functioning AC and non-functioning phone. To make matters worse, the proprietor bangs on our door and 9:00 AM and after shouting “We are busy.” twice, she enters and see my wife and I naked. After getting up, I call the front desk to find out what was obviously so important as to interrupt a great morning, only to find that the proprietor was concerned that I had “put down on my check in that I drove a blue Mazda CX-5” but she didn’t see it in the parking lot, only a blue Volkswagen. I then pointed out to her that my blue Mazda CX-5 was parked on the end, “I am sitting here looking at it ma’am “. “Where?” “The first vehicle in line, right before the black SUV” “Where?” “*SIGH* The first vehicle ma’am…” She then apologizes and reminds us that “Check out is at 11, but if you want to take until 12 that’s fine….” Will NEVER stay there again and hope other learn from our experience.

The good: my room appeared to be clean although the carpet was stained and it was relatively quiet at night. The bad: the room itself was very run-down, patches on walls, mismatched furniture that was in deteriorating condition, and the entire property outside the room was trashy - as in trash everywhere. There was a camper trailer parked in the corner of the lot that appeared to have been there for quite some time. There were empty soda cans, to-go boxes and beer cans strewn about all around it and other areas as well. The little bit of grassy area that there was had not been cut and the grass was about a foot tall. But what really pushed my rating down was the customer service. When I made my reservation, I informed them that I would be traveling with dogs and I received a reply from the hotel acknowledging that fact. When I arrived, I informed the clerk that I had a reservation and she verified my name and pulled out my info. I paid for the room and she gave me my key. The following morning, I was walking the dogs and was about to enter my room when a different employee practically accosted me, asking if I had paid the deposit/fee. I told her that I wasn't sure and she demanded that I come to the office prior to checkout. I said I would. Two minutes later, she pounded on my door & requested that I come to the office. Turns out the clerk had mistakenly failed to charge me for the dogs. Despite the 2nd clerks eventual apology, I was very upset at my treatment.

Worst motel stay.

The sheets are old. The towels were stained. I do thank the receptionist for preparing coffee early as requested. I think it's overpriced. It says breakfast is included but they only have limited fruits, pastries and coffee.
