Clean room with everything you need, and Billy the property manager was wonderful. This is a small, no-frills hotel, but it was just what we needed. We weren’t there for a resort; we needed a nice, clean, safe place to stay in Atlantic Beach. We will be back!

Overall great experience. Owner was helpful when we had issues or questions. Seemed clean for the most part but some handles were sticky. Beds were comfortable and there were no bad smells that you typically find in motels. We have to mention the owner again, because he’s really a nice and pleasant person!
