Pretty good!
It was pretty much what you would expect for a motel. The mattress isn’t attached to the box spring and very easily slid away from the headboard which was irritating but not the end of the world. The staff was very kind and helpful

Great place to stay
Room was great with the exception of a couple of things that needed to be addressed which I did with the front desk. Remember to bring a hair dryer the rooms do not have one. Have stayed here many times and always enjoy it.

Pirates Cove was better than anticipated! We will be going back soon!
Jenniffer, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The first room we were assigned has a bad smell and we realized it was from mold growing in the fridge that was broken. The second room's bathtub didn't have a plug and the hot water was iffy. The room was like daylight at night because there were blinds but no curtains. The walls were very thin so we heard our neighbor's entire phone conversation. Proximity to beach is good, though. Big sign at the property for $69/night.
