"We only stayed for one night but we'd definitely stay again. The room was very clean and updated. Nothing was peeling off the wall - it was in tip top shape. We were there on a busy weekend and it was very quiet. We interacted with 3 different staff members and they were all very nice and helpful."

8/10 Good
"First, I know that I should have figured out by the name that it was a place where motorcycle groups stay. As you know, motorcycles can be loud. I would have loved an iron and ironing board. Joe and his wife or the lady that works with him are the absolute best! My husband, unfortunately, left his wallet on our flight and we had it forwarded to the hotel. Unfortunately, it didn’t arrive while we were there , but Joe was very supportive while we waited two days later for it to turn up. The room was fine, nothing fancy and it’s across the street from the ocean."
