The room was set up like an efficiency apt. Cute, very clean, quiet, and the room has every thing needed to have your own food and deink without going out to eat for every meal. There were a xouple of minor issues, but the managemt took care of my issues. Jennifer needs a raise as she is doing a 2 person job by herself. Without her there would be a quality vs. quanity issue. I would definitely stay here again.

We did not stay at the hotel. When we arrived there was nobody at the office. They had texted a code to get into the room. There were a couple of gals hanging out and smoking. Friendly enough and willing to get the door open, etc. It just wasn't our vibe. Nothing around but decrepit buildings and it didn't appear there was anywhere to get a meal. I thought I was renting a hotel room, which would mean there would be somebody there. I wish your app would be a bit more specific on what the property is like. We decided to lose the money and continue on to a motel with people available as well as restaurants

The staff went out of the way to be helpful. When we initially had an issue with the keypad, they answered the call promptly & had an easy solution. They furnished towels when we requested extras, and were just as nice as anyone could be. The room was very clean, had everything we needed. Bed was soft and the retro vibes were so very cute. This is a refurbished old motel that has new life as a little boutique air b and b. I loved it.

Funky fifties , friendly and frugal place to sleep

I was visiting a friend who lives 15 minutes away so this place was perfect for the time Ispent in the room. It was a good value and right off the coastal highway.

Cute little vintage motel for overnight stay. Quiet,clean and cozy. Not much to do in the area but we knew that before we booked which is why we chose it for the night.

I did not like the concrete business right next door to the property. The cement trucks were very noisy and unsightly and took away any ambiance this little hotel offers. The location is convenient and the restaurant down the road (Tropical Trader Shrimp Co.) has the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. The hotel itself was clean, cute and comfy!
