This motel is decent. The location is close to Target and other shopping places which was helpful. I misjudged the distance to the boardwalk though. My kids were not happy with me trying to have them walk there and my husband ended up having to go back and get the van. We were able to check in early for a fee and received 2 rooms adjacent to each other. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are mostly functional, but our toilet did not flush, the refrigerator ended up freezing and a ton of ice melted and created a puddle that we had to clean up, it did take some time for the AC to cool the room down and the shower water temperature would not cool down from scalding so we couldn't bathe the kids. However, the TV works and the rooms were clean. We were only there for 1 night to sleep so we didn't have to make the long drive home after spending all day at the boardwalk. So I was trying to save some money and I knew what I was paying for. Overall I'm happy to have had a place to sleep before driving home on Sunday. Thank you.

It was a pretty hot room and the tv was not working , so was the coffee maker also one light would not turn on.

I would bring a security stick for the door or use a chair to secure door even more. We accidentally reserved smoking rooms but the rooms did not smell like smoke. I guess seeing a cigarette hole in each of the covers was a bit off putting. Also, there was a bag of food in the freezer part of the refrigerate. Nevertheless, it was adequate for the cost. LInen didn't look crisp, but appeared clean. Air-condition was freezing. loved it! Bed mattress is hard: however, we slept like logs. Water pressure and hot water were perfect. BTW: If you bring cash, you can save 4% on the rate. I think the doors need to be replaced to have a more safe feel. Please Note: the police station is righ next door.

Room not clean and cigarette burns on the bed. The hotel staff didn't seem interested in helping. The room was so uncomfortable we actually just checked out and went home. The room was just not inviting.
- 5/5
It was spotless clean, and we were not bothered at all during our stay. Beautiful room, small hotel, not very full, so quiet and peaceful. Perfect place to stay while enjoying local attractions. Front desk guy could use some people skills, lol, but lady was very professional and friendly.

This was the worse hotel motel I have stayed in. They changed our room 3 times. The TV didn't work in none of the rooms. The first room had hair in the bed. The second one had Tv issues with a dirty tube. The third one had used towels in the shower with long hair on the floor.

Clean room. Soap and shampoo provided. Pet friendly laminate flooring. Laundry on site but bring your own quarters. Tight entrance to the property: take it slow.

Really a great place for the price. Staff is excellent!
- 1/5
The room wasn’t as expected the shower would not change enough pressure to use the shower head. The tub looked like it was cracked but the plastic was coming apart. There was no soap or complementary shampoo in the restroom. The towels looked like they where just placed on top not even in a presentable manner. The room floor look like it had food stains that have been there for a while. The mirrors in the room had dots from something that was splashed. The AC temp read out didn’t work so you couldn’t see the temp settings. The usb charger outlets didn’t work on one side. When it came time to check out there was no one at the counter.
- 5/5
Yes it was a great

The restroom didn’t have a handle. The remote would not change the channel or anything else. They did accommodate and change us rooms but that room only had hot water to shower. So experience was not great but customer service was excellent!

i had a great experience very nice people in the office.The room was clean and quiet.I booked it for my family so they could stay there while they were visiting,

The staff were courteous, check-in was a snap however the room we had left a lot to be desired. A/C plug outlet was sticking out from the wall about 2 inches. The toilet paper holder was also sticking out from the wall and wedged with toilet paper. There was a large tare in the batheoom door. Other than that the room was ok for 1 night.

No maintenence man.. my husband works for The Best Western Inspections, fyi... so this was no good for them, sadly. The pick was last minute, or we would have went elsewhere.

Our stay was Friday-Tuesday and the only service we received was towels @ 10am the morning after arriving at 830pm. It was dirty the faucet still had splattered toothpaste from pervious guest. The toilet paper holder was falling out of the wall. The coffee pot was dirty and dusty. The air conditioning only worked sporadically. Had to bang on it to get it to come on. We did not have the "Do not disturb" sign on the door and still no one showed up for any service at all. Our entire stay there was no garbage taken out no toilet paper replaced no dirty towels picked up and no more clean ones dropped off. There was a fire alarm with a low battery in one of the rooms close so it beeped a high pitched beep every 30 seconds the entire stay. The noise from the freeway was ridiculously loud. I did not complain, which was my fault but I don't plan on ever staying there again. Spend the extra few bucks and stay at a different hotel.

It was ok for the location and price. Bed was comfortable. Only negative was that we found a roach floating in a cup we had left on the nightstand. I would stay there again, though.

I couldn't stay my two nights because the room was infested with roaches! I told the guy at the front desk and he offered me another room! If one room has roaches, then they all do! All he said was no refunds so i left. He didn't seem to care about the roaches as if this is normal. It was so bad. Dead roaches on the floor and roaches crawling out of the furniture! It was terrifying to see that. How disgusting?

Can someone provide me a number so I can directly and speak to someone. I have a list of complaints.

The AC was completely off when we first arrived in our room. I understand saving some money but Texas in June and being on the top floor they should've had it on at least to 75 degrees or so. We went out to dinner and when we got back it was still fairly warm in the room. Not happy.

My only complaint is the Internet did not work properely and severely impacted my work in a negative manner. I had to go to a restauraunt with free wifi to work. This was unacceptable as internet is part of the package for the Hotel reservation.

My husband and I stayed here one night on our way home after a vacation in Texas to visit family. It was worth the stay and is a fairly convenient location, but the front staff wasn't the friendliest. He seemed a bit too aloof to provide any customer service beyond checking us in. We also only had three pillows on a king size bed, which is almost always an issue where ever we stay. It was worth the money though.
- 1/5
Expedia confirmed our visit, but the hotel had no record of our reservation. They offered new rooms but at double the price that I booked on Expedia. We were given 20 minutes to make a decision. He said it is now 30 minutes and we have been holding these rooms for you. I need a decision. I was on the phone with Expedia trying to figure out the mess. We walked out.

Check in was great. Good customer service. The room conditions were not the best. Outlets were falling out of the wall, floors were dingy, one bed was not comfortable, could feel the mattress springs, and towels were dingy. The noise all night of people coming and going was annoying. We didn't sleep much. We will not stay here again.

I called for a late check-in and all the numbers online routed elsewhere. After four tries, I finally got the front desk, where he said checking in late didn't mean I could check out late.Kind of rude. I wasn't asking to check out late. I couldn't hear him well through their super-thick glass at the night window and it seemed to irritate him. It was only 10pm so he could have opened the door if it was a burden, but he did not. I asked for the wifi code and it was like I'd asked him to donate a kidney. I was with my 80-year-old father and asked if we could get a first-floor room because dragging bags up the stairs is hard. He got upset and told me I get what I get. The room was clean when we arrived, except for the hair stuck to the bathroom wall and the weather stripping falling off the door. When we returned the next day, the room had not been cleaned or restocked and the key didn't work. When I asked about the key, another employee was kind of rude again and asked when I was leaving. I booked for three nights. We left again the next day and when we returned, again the key did not work. I went to ask about the key and they asked again when I was leaving and blamed the key on me. Again, the room wasn't cleaned or restocked. I went back to see if I could get some coffee for the machine and they were annoyed for me asking. Overall, it seemed like they really didn't want us to be there and wanted us to leave. I'd try another hotel.

The room was absolutely disgusting and filthy. Black pubic hairs and unknown debris or scattered among the clean sheets. Bodily fluid stains we're on the pillows and the mattress. No hot water until almost 1:00 a.m. in the morning. Room was clearly in a state of remodeling and there should have been a discount for a property that was under reconstruction. All of the incidents were reported to management and those employees seemed fairly unconcerned. The soiled bedding was given to the night manager who informed me that no housekeeping services were available and the door was locked. I assured him that he had better get a key and provide me with clean linens which I had to install myself. It was a two night stay and at no time did housekeeping service the room or clean the room. Two bath size towels for only provided in the bathroom area. I cannot stress enough that you should not under any circumstances book this property. I took multiple photographs which this review is not allowing me to upload. Additionally there was no post to telephone number to contact management. I'm requesting a full refund.

Desk clerk did not give out Wi-Fi information, we had a dirty towels, there was a towel there that was crispy and smelled bad. The handle on sink faucet kept coming off. Gaps around door allowing bugs and air to come in. Even though it was nonsmoking there were burns on the bedding from smoking. Despite being next to the police station there were so many sketchy people in and out and stinking up the place with drugs. Front desk clerk acted as though it was an inconvenience to tend to you. Tv was set to store mode and not home. So every few minutes your show would be interrupted by a blasting sound and video of the tv brand and its features. Cleaners looked like they were on heavy drugs while cleaning.

Do NOT stay here. Shady place. Nobody smiles in this hotel.. they are after money and that's it. I couldn't understand what the Receptionist was saying. Hotel is dirty. My cable wasn't working and took the owner 3 hours to come to my room , looked behind the TV and said: now it's working. Guess what? He left and the cable wasn't working. I had to call my cousin who told me what to do step by step. No breakfast!!!!!! I told the owner I was leaving because of the hurricane Beryl and they charge me for the day I was gone. After the hurricane they Price Gouging from $ 65 to $ 135. Not a good member of the society. Bunch of greed people. I wish I could give zero stars.
