Northwinds Motel

Bathroom was in very poor condition. Surround shower tiles around the tub was separating from the wall. No curtain in the bathroom for privacy. I had to put up a beach towel for privacy. Other than that, it was clean and everything did work. No coffee maker. For what we paid for it work for us. Good location. Beach was nice but had a lot of geese droppings. Some children did get the swimmers itch due to the geese droppings. So beware.

We got moved from this property to sunrise beach motel. Perfect view of the bridge and really nice beach.

The room was terribly small. The beds barely fit in the room. The mattresses didn’t fit on the box spring. The bathroom was terrible. Smallest shower ever. No room to move around in it. Had to sit sideways to use the toilet. Pictures on the booking site don’t match what you get.

I booked 2 rooms at the Northwinds motel. Another motel called Sunrise Beach charged my card before we arrived. We had to go to the Sunrise to check in and was then told we would be staying at the Sunrise. We were told our rooms would be ready by 4:00, it was actually after 5:00. The rooms they gave us were beyond filthy! The glass patio doors were so dirty you couldn't see through them and the carpet was caked with dirt and grime and the doors didn't even lock in one of the rooms. Went back to the office and asked for our money back and was refused. We had already been charged for 4 nights. She gave us 2 other rooms in yet another hotel next door the Bridge view. They were cleaner but reaked of mildew smell. The bathroom lights have a built in fan that comes on with the light and in one of the rooms the fan motor locked up and started screeching an ear piercing sound. I called the office immediately (around 9am) she said she would send maintenance to fix it. We returned to the room around 2pm and it wasn't fixed. I called back to the office and was told it would be fixed. We went back out and returned about 9pm to it STILL not fixed. Called the office again and this time I was told "they had a lot on their plate" Plus couldn't find a new one to replace it. We could not use the bathroom light the rest of the evening and into the next day meaning showers and using the toilet in the dark. The view was great but that's about all I can say nice about it.

View was nice, unfortunately the room had not been fully cleaned before we arrived.

The guy didn’t have our hotel room cleaned after we checked in. Housekeeping was smoking weed. It reeked like marijuana. The hotel beds were made with flat sheets not fitted. Front window was open all night long. It was hot and uncomfortable. The air conditioner kept kicking in and out, off and on. Very loud and noisy. Hot water ran out. Shower head height was to my chest. Decor was from the 70s. Microwave was so old that Columbus brought it over on the boat! More bugs including in the globe in the light fixture in the bathroom. Bed mattresses were so flimsy that you could roll over and take the whole mattress with you. Pool was out of order at our motel. We had to walk 3 motels down to another motel. Hot tub was not working at that one. We all walk down there to find the pool filthy, bugs in it, etc. Desk clerk at other motel tells us that we can walk down three motels the other way and go to a water park for FREE. We signed liability agreement and waivers for all of us. We walked down 3 motels the other way. We were standing in a very nice hotel where the water park was. I figured that the water park would be nice, too. NOPE. Not the case at all. Water park is filthy. It has not been cleaned at all. We saw clumps of hair on the floor by the pool. No water slides were open. Dirty and filthy showers. No lifeguards. Deflated inner tubes for lazy river. Kids area on pool was taken apart and down. It truly felt like they didn’t care about any of it. Sooo sad.

View of the bridge was great cleanliness was ok the deck need painting no breakfast was a problem

Location-incredible view! Room was right on the beach. Quality-Meh. But for the price, I didn't expect much! The pool and hot tub were unusable, but we had the beach so whatever. My biggest complaint is not getting the room I booked. It was supposed to be in the northwinds motel, a room at the end with a private deck, away from the stacked motel on the beach full of families. Instead I was charged the same rate for a smaller room in the stacked motel three businesses down. I was OK with the room change, but a little upset that I was charged the same price. I had noisy upstairs people, and all of the kids on the beach made it hard to do my work. I had I've been in the room I actually booked, my review would be much different! A note to the management, let someone know that you changed their booking before you charge their card on the phone. That was the other strange thing, I was charged before I even checked in. again, communicate with your guests. I am not sure I will be back… And I travel up here often.

The view was awesome
