This motel needs a lot of work. The first room we were given was dirty, in the back of the building, a view of a boarded up building and quite dismal. The second room was in the front, in a bit better condition and overlooked a lovely road of palm trees and a nice motel. The room has clearly been worked on with the couch being recovered and the bathroom being spackled but not painted. The bathroom floor tiles all moved. The closet held a heating/cooling system that had massive amounts of dirt build up in the air filter. There was no cleaning service I assume since one day during our 5 days two clean towels were left on a chair on the balcony. The pool was not at all inviting and I never saw anyone using it. The bottom was various colors, either dirty or needed painted. The lounge chairs were toppled over and lined the pool edge lengthwise because there wasn’t room for them. The pool was in a courtyard that lead to the bath building so it was basically used as a walkway. Fresh paint, some plants, chairs that fit might help the space. The beach which was a short two minute walk diagonal from the motel. Marissa offered chairs to use which were perfect for our stay. Overall, I think Marissa was a lovely person. The motel needs a lot of work but could be fixed up with some deep cleaning, paint and elbow grease. We enjoyed our balcony and spent a lot of time in the morning and night sitting there. The location is prime, a walk to the beach and to the busy center.
