This new motel was very clean and cozy, for a good price. It is near lots of shopping and dining, and not a very long drive to the beach. It was great that parking is next to the room and it has a fun game room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We noticed the toilet seat was loose and the outlet in the bathroom didn’t seem to work, but these were renovation issues, I’m sure, and didn’t affect our enjoyment. Would definitely stay there again. A great price for the area!

If your a light sleeper this might not be the place for, but I was in the front so I could hear the traffic and people outside. The place was clean with the exception of a few spots on the floor and i didn't get any washcloths in my room. I loved that it was contract free check in so that was nice I would stay her again

Located on a busy street, entry to rooms dirty, housekeeping staff did not speak English. Rooms were tiny, but clean although they smelled musky, moldy and faintly of old smoke. We picked this place because it was local and pet friendly, we had planned on staying over night. But did not feel it was a safe or quiet area, so did not stay and checked out early. There is no one on site that spoke English that could help.

Minimal space and amenities

The room was very small and cramped. There is no place to sit other than on the bed. There was a dog in the room next to me that kept barking and scratching at the door. The location is very loud with road noise. I could not stay in the room to take calls. Very inconvenient.

Needed stay

Room was small and did not have any place to sit but the bed. Water faucet was difficult to operate occasionally. There was noise and smoking outside close to our room. We had a coffee pot issue and it was resolved quickly. Shower was really nice and room had been remodeled. No microwave available in the room. Game room was really nice. Keyless entry and electronic access worked well. Sent wrong room number via text. Had to call to find room number. A little noisy next to a busy road.

No no...don't go there!

This place went downhill fast! Initially a cute boutique motel, renovated, and welcoming. This time i was shocked when I entered. Very strong musty smell, mildew in bathroom, poorly eqipped, didn't seem safe to use items in kitchenette. Asked about hair dryer and additional coffee/tea, and tissue box missing. All fine last stay, lacking this. Signs posted throught room about charges for damage and taking items. I was told to get a hair dryer, more than the 1 kcup found in room, tissues, etc from the game room! As other guests got there first, there was nothing in game room either! THAT'S why they place items in a guests room, so they can use them!...as was the case last 2 times. Other stays were delightful. Charming boutique motel!! What happened? Everything was in place in the room, nicely appointed, clean, fresh and welcoming. Not this time. I left a day early...abysmal stay!

Went to visit family

This place is very affordable, very clean, and lots of restaurant choices to choose from. West from the Motel is the beautiful Gulf waters, and to the East is the beautiful Tampa Bay waters. And so much to do and see maybe only half hour away around the place. It is like a Air BnB, but the staff is very pleasant to work with and helpful. Would go back in a heartbeat if ever in that area again!!!!

Unsafe location. Creeps hanging out in parking lot watching rooms. Waited for me to pull out and then immediately went to our room where my wife was alone and started knocking on the door repeatedly asking her to open the door. No motel management present so we had to call the police so we could load up our belongings and find another, safer place to stay the night.

I have stayed in 5-star hotels with bath sheets worth hundreds of dollars, I do not need your $5 bath mat and bath towels to take back to Texas with me. Went through my email chains and I recalled emailing them the night I checked in to let them know I need an iron and I need a bath mat. They emailed back and said bath mats are provided in the room. I emailed them and let them know there was no bath mat in room 3 the evening I checked in, so they emailed again and told me I can grab it from the clubhouse. I went the next day to the clubhouse, grabbed the iron and bath mat and enjoyed the rest of my 4 nights in the room (in spite of the very cramped quarters and the very low water toilet). They charged my credit card $50 on the night I checked in. If I stole your mat and towels, as you claim your "cleaning crew" says I did, wouldn't you have charged that $50 after I checked out 4 days later and not the day of check in? Rather than admitting their mistake of charging me $50 for the mat and towels that were clearly stolen by the guest prior to my stay, they continued to argue and accuse over email. Very shady establishment. DO NOT recommend.
