Good motel for budget minded families. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Located close to the beach, restaurants, shops and St Andrews State Park.

I liked the old school charm and the close location to the beach. The staff were very nice and helpful. I would stay there again!
Great place for staying for a couple of days, you have the beach really close and a gas station in front of it in case you need something to eat. Pool was in great shape and the staff was super friendly!
The staff were all amazing!! There was 2 hiccups on our stay (other guests acting crazy) so out of the hands of the hotel staff. It was handled quickly. 5 minutes from St Andrews And a 1 minite walk to a public beach. Absolutely amazing vacation

Closet to the beach with walking distance shopping and gas station across the street
Great hotel for the price, especially when you consider how close it is to the beach. This was my second time staying here and it wasn’t quite as good as the first but I’d still stay here again. This time though, our fridge was leaking and our air conditioner didn’t work when we got there. On our second day we asked about the air conditioner and they came in and fixed it very quickly though! The pool is really nice and deep and most the time it’s either not crowded or there is nobody else in there.

Older worn butt comfortable if you're planning on spending all your time out and about it's a 10 out of 10 and the pool area and stuff was nice as well.
Not any dish towels or dish cloth, no trash bags, I think there should be all necessary simple items, ice trays, thank goodness I brought my own coffee cups from home, over all it was good , being downstairs the ones up above us were very disrespectful but the last night was good.If I booked there again I would know what extras I needed to pack.

I booked a room here but due to an emergency my sister gave birth so I tried to cancel the room. They didn't let me cancel and on the day of check in they forced me to contact expedia to resolve it
The guy at the front desk and the woman was very nice and friendly. I loved the shower and the soft beds it was a great stay and the beach right out the back door
