Guest Reviews
- Jennifer (2/5): - Bed was uncomfortable. None of the electrical outlets worked. The door looked as if it was kicked in at some point. Did not feel safe with the privacy chain. No staff on duty to help with check in or after.
- Chantal (6/5): - Très propre mais petit et minimaliste. Serviette excellentes mais pas de serviettes à main ou débarbouillettes. Pas de verres mais deux tasses. Pas de bureau pour déposer nos choses non plus. Mais très bien quand même.
- Danielle (2/5): Didn’t end up staying here I found something else - Would give no stars if I could. Horrible experience with these guys!!!! They refused to give me a refund after saying they would fully refund me I still have the text messages. Getting in contact with a person to help us was hard they have no office. We went to check in the door was open, the sheets for the kids beds were missing, not to mention the mattress have no covers protectors they were dirty and gross and had black hairs all over them. we had no towels, the floors were dirty and my truck was bigger than the building. The other people checking also were saying how unhappy they were and the doors were open and I heard a lady say “did they even clean the room!?” So I’m not the only one upset. I watched them drive away to find another place to stay as well. I did not stay here I stayed somewhere else that was much better and luckily had openings.
- Sam (2/5): - The property was disguising not like the photos. There’s no office when we called there was no answer look as there were people living on the property full time. We showed up the room wasn’t clean smelled of cigarette smoke we didn’t stay reached out to the motel. It’s not a motel more like staying in a shed. No response Expedia didn’t refund our money either. We didn’t stay there
- Nicole (6/5): Cute little room - We had a family emergency so we didnt get to stay at the hotel but it was a cute litte room.
- Amanda (10/5): - The rooms were so cute! So clean. Love the Monopoly names! I could use a little more parking because it’s hard when you have more than one car for your party. The lady that stayed on the property was so nice and checked with us to see if we needed anything and that we had everything we needed. Not a long walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again!
- Erin (10/5): - First time here and definitely plan to return.
- Donald (4/5): Room or Hobbit Hole? - They said that we had an Ecno Room, and that's what it was. A bed and a shower. There was no Closets, and no Burrows. We had to put our cloths on the floor, and then there was not enough room to move around the room. To be honest, this was not the room for us.
- David (10/5): On get away - Very clean very friendly only thing is the bed is not very comfortable
- Kelly (2/5): - There was nothing we liked about this stay. We were there from out of state for a basketball tournament. We never once saw any staff . Never given any Wi-Fi information. Space we thought we were getting was advertised to have enough space to accommodate and a kitchenette. We had to purchase air mattress and room didn’t even have a microwave. Bathroom shower was super sketchy. We never found the hot tubs that were advertised and the pool had actual worms in the bottom. Horribly disappointed and will NEVER go back and will definitely let our area that travels there with multiple teams to not go there.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Needs a deep clean - Very dirty. Layer of grime across all the blinds and the bathroom had not been cleaned. Mould on the panels on the ceiling and extremely noisy area.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The rooms are messy, tiny, and not always in the best shape. I do not plan to stay there again. The beds are uncomfortable. The windows don’t always work. You can’t cover the windows.
- Christopher (2/5): - The place is not safe. After a short time at the place, (we arrived in the evening), we found that a knife had been stuck in one of our tires. Our room smelled of marijuana, there were dirty sheets outside our room door sitting area and an ash tray with a cigarette butt. Some of the inhabitants seemed sketchy and watched us, the motel desk person was unfriendly and unprofessional, there are no lights outside at night...we felt the place was dangerous. We left the room and had to find another hotel late at night and had to have our tire replaced the next day. Booking MG ruined our vacation. I tried to contact them many times, no one will respond. AVOID!
- David (2/5): - The property was poorly maintained and dirty.
- Rodney (10/5): - Loved it and will stay there again!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Close to beach - The room I was given (room 4) was pretty dated. The bathroom was especially out of date. There's a lot of noise here from the busy road outside. I got a really good price, so I didn't complain. The bed was comfy, and the mini fridge worked well. The pool was nice and seemed to be well maintained. The beach is about a 3/4 mile walk, so you can walk to the beach from here to avoid paying for parking. Overall, I was happy with this stay for what I paid (less than $100 a night). If the price was higher, I probably would've went somewhere else.
- Tammy (8/5): - Very spacious rooms and cute cabins available as well.
- Kary (4/5): - Shower was not short friendly, toilet took 3 or more flushed to go down, stains on carpet, bed was very stiff and noisy, had to ask for towels every night, the last night was told they were not going to make a special trip to give towels, there was no filter in the window ac unit and it had an inch of dust on it (I have bad allergies), window was broken and could not close or lock it , screen door would not stay closed and would flop in the breeze, bricks to porch were not secure and tripped a few times, dresser was missing the bottom to the drawer, refrigerator was hard to open due to it rubbing on the carpet every time you opened it. The pictures posted on Travelocity were very misleading and I wanted to leave the next day but my husband said no . Please take this as constructive criticism. Best Wishes, The Schrom’s
- Mark (6/5): - Hotel had just opened back up has a nice pool good location buildings need some tlc alot.of minor repairs need to be attended to.but i would go back again hopefully they will fix it up a little befote then
- Casey (4/5): - While it is clear that some thought was put into the decor of the rooms, the room we stayed in was very small with no curtains on the windows in either the bathroom or bedroom leaving us feeling like we had little privacy. The shower also ran lukewarm. While it met our basic needs for the night, it was a pricey room for the experience
- Hilary (8/5): - It was a bit run down, but it was clean and quiet, and easy walking distance to the beach.
- Tammy (10/5): - Loved our stay in Cabin #7 so cozy and cute with a loft, hot tub and fireplace with our own private backyard, very quiet and relaxing, we will definately stay here again 😊
- Patricia (6/5): Not professional - The room what was expected for the price we paid. Checking in created a big mess. The address on the directions brings you to the office which covers more than one hotel. Since the office closed early and we arrived at 730 in the pouring rain we could not see the names on the hotels and went to the one the gps took us to. That started lots of confusion. Along with problems with are credit card information being misplaced, and not to mention when we left we were accused of not returning the keys. Which they later admitted they found. They need to f get their act together.
- Richard (4/5): - too expensive for what you get and not in walking distance to the beach. Parking near the beach is $25.00 additional.
- B P (8/5): Pleasant stopover - Pleasant stopover, staff were accommodating and helpful. As for accommodations, think simple cabin that's been nicely painted. Has fridge, microwave, table - all the basics. Lower comfort rating because the beds were well past their expiration date (creaky "box spring", thin, worn out mattresses). Still, I'd stop here again for a quick stopover.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Stay - like the effort on maintenance. looking to see more improvements
- Tammy (8/5): - Staff are friendly. Pool was great.
- Michelle (8/5): - The staff was wonderful! The room quaint. The pool was clean and fun. The beach was a quick drive just a few blocks away. Also a great little lobster market just a couple blocks the other direction! The only drawback was the room smelled a bit like smoke.
- Laura (6/5): - Nice pool area. The room was a bit dirty and some of the complementary soaps had already been opened.
- Alyssa (10/5): - We loved the fenced in backyard to the cabin with private hot tub and fire pit and grill, we enjoyed being close to the pool, and just a short walk to the beach so we were far enough from the noise. The bed was not very comfortable, but otherwise the cabin decor and amenities were great. We will definitely be back!
- Claude (4/5): - Dans l'ensemble de cette propriété, il manque un peu d'amour, certaines chambres ne sont pas très bonnes et nous étions dans l'une d'elles, le problème était l'espace de la chambre. Par contre il y a des chambres plus grands et plus de services. Les petites chambres devraient utilisé 2 chambres pour en faire 1 ou les louer pour de très courts séjours
- Verified traveler (6/5): The pool is the highlight - The pool was really nice. Off-street, free parking. 15-Minute walk to the Pier. Those are the highlights. The room was pretty smelly and dirty, and the beds were wildly uncomfortable. Rooms had different appliances available, some have coffee makers, some have microwaves. Will look elsewhere for the next trip.
- Catherine Blair (8/5): - Cute little cabin! Not too far from the beach and other attractions. The staff are very friendly and helpful! I would recommend.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Dissapointed - The check in process was perfect and the owners were great very personable. We did not use the pool but was clean. Unfortuneately the room was not. *No hot water *bathroom door would not close *no trash barrell in room *no blinds or curtains to close on windows *lots of fruit flys or nats came in through the bathroom window even when closed. I would not suggest for a week stay we were in town for quick visit one night but still was not were I would stay again. I would suggest only if in a pinch and need some place to stay for the night I dont usually write a review but stay was not pleasant. Again the owners were great the room was just not for us.
- Joanne (10/5): - Nice place!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Our cabin was not ready at check-in time; the manager stated she couldn't remember cleaning it in the AM and would clean it in 20 minutes so come back then. She had NOTHING in-hand (cleaning supplies, linen, etc.) and when we got back, it did not smell nor look clean (the floor was dirty and there was half eaten chicken in the fridge). She also tried to get us to pay twice for the 1st half of our stay, saying Ortbitz didn't send payment. Overall, probably wouldn't recommend as it's clear she's only out for money... but a pretty cute motel with a nice pool and nearby everything for what we paid.
- Pat (2/5): - From the moment we opened the door I counted the hours til we left. Mold and dirt in bathroom floor corners. No blind or curtain over the bathroom window and the tree outside did not block a possible view from neighbors home. Ceiling tiles were coming apart from ceiling and dirt or grime on the edges. Bathroom wall next to shower was half painted as though someone couldn’t reach the other side. Strange green and gray grime on bathroom sink fixtures. Much more. I took photos and can share should anyone challenge these issues.
- Jenniffer (10/5): - My family loved our stay thank you
- Heather (4/5): - The room was Extremely small, you could here everything from the next room, it was definately expensive for what you got .. literally a hole in the wall. Barely enough room for the bed.. Good thing only me and my 8 yr old son..
- DB (4/5): - This property need MAJOR renovations. It is old and falling apart. They should be embarrassed the money they charge.
- Greg (6/5): - it kept me off the street for a few nights...sheets/room clean...shower was hot...wall was thin between rooms...somehow not truly a motel room... I’ve stayed in worse for less money...New Englanders are not known for our generosity...
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Front desk clerk was complaining about checking guests in so close to close, I showed up at 845 and was complained to for taking so long to check in. Will never come back that’s for sure
- celine (8/5): À voir - Très bien...chambre prête à 15h et le départ est 10h
- Duane R. (10/5): Nice stay - Location old but comfortable service was excellent no complaints
- Blake (10/5): Great for the money!! - Room was small but since we weren't planning on doing anything but sleep in the hotel room it was perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone looking for a well Priced hotel.
- Kenneth (10/5): - Nice friendly staff
- Kevin (8/5): Vacation - Great price, room was comfortable. 5 minute walk to the beach. Great find.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very small room, but great location and super friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Swing and a miss - The manager was a friendly enough guy and did try for sure. The room was the size of a prison cell though. The shower had rusty nuts holding down a striping of wood going around the edge. The cold water did not operate, only the hot. The place needed upkeep and repair done to it. There were people still popping out on their stoops in some of the rooms at almost 1AM. Travelers do not normally do that. So I speculate as to whether they may have some transient families doing extended stay in one or two of the rooms. I was called back home, so only could stay one of the two nights I had expected to stay. I did not expect to receive my deposit back on such short notice. I did not, but I have no issue there. Overall, I would not stay there again though. So two stars.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - There were noisy neighbors next door that kept us up at night.
- J S (2/5): - It was the WORST hotel room I have ever been in!
- Frank (8/5): convenient & clean - The manager was very friendly & gave us a good tip on a very nice restaurant close by.
- Heidi (6/5): The Basic Motel to end all basic motels. - Very small rooms in a very basic motel. Property seems to be under renovation so watch your step. Nice and helpful staff.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Most depressing room I've stayed in in awhile. - Apparently I got the last room available for the night (Columbus Day weekend), but the one I got was absolutely tiny, just room for a double bed, about a 12" flat screen TV, and very uncomfortable mattress and pillows. Small fridge next to the bed (where a nightstand would be) was handy for storing the beer I needed to keep from shooting myself. Couldn't wait to get out of there in the morning. And, the Dunkin' Donuts down by the beach that I went to for coffee in the morning was closed for the season. Not a pleasant motel experience.
- Francois (4/5): Decent yet far from exceptionnal - Kind of okay
- donald (2/5): NEVER AGAIN - Totally unsatisfied
