Do not expect anything more than a beach motel. I have been debating between liking this place and being totally grossed out by it. I have a california family travel book and edgewater was listed as a good place for families. Yeah, there is a grill, picnic benches, kitchens and separate rooms. You don't have to drive to the beach,... more

I was really worried when I read many of the prior reviews. My worries were unfounded. This place is great. My room was the least expensive available (#103)- roomy for two people and a dog. The wireless internet is free. TV, Video&DVD player, shared interior patio, My dog loved the sliding glass door onto the enclosed outdoor patio. Microwaves/Frig. Each... more

Only good thing was they take dogs. Our room was filthy, musty smelling and they interior was neglected. The in- wall heater was filthy with cob webs, hair, grease and layers of dirt. Whoever wallpapered the place wallpapered over the pipes and anything else that was on the wall. Paper peeling-broken blinds . Most importanly we did not feel safe... more

The only reason we picked this place was because it allowed us to bring our dogs and that it was close to the beach. Apparently the end building of the motel is 150 years old, and it shows.

The motel does not live up to its' website. That is no surprise when compared to other places in the area. The room needed some work. It smelled. Mold, mildew, and bug spray come to mind. No airconditioning...didn't trust the wall heater. The main problem was how we were treated. We were chased down and reminded of the pet potty... more

We booked a room at the America's Best Value Inn. We stayed for 15 minutes and then left, even though it was non-refundable. We landed at the Edgewater while looking for somwhere close to the beach. We loved it! The staff was wonderful, we got a great rate, and we loved our room! We will be going back. more

We stayed at the Edgewater for about 3 nights. The room was comfortable enough, and it had a good bathroom, but it was tucked in amongst a number of other rooms so was quite dark and other guests walked right past our windows to get to and from their rooms, so it didn't feel very private. I think the experience... more

This 60 year old motel, YES motel it is way over priced. $49.00 is about all it is worth at best. Room was nice but very old, and need to be updated.Carpet really needed to be cleaned, and the drapes were very dirty. Bathroom was nice but needed to be cleaned (hair in shower), and floor needed to be washed,... more
