Was looking for an inexpensive hotel for 3 teens and 2 adults for a few days before our spring break 2012 cruise. We were worried when we first drove up to The Gem at night. Looked a bit sketchy, then also felt as if the owner was trying to put us in a room with double beds vs the queens... More

We just love this place. My wife and I always stay here whenever we visit the area. I’ve been to this motel about 15 times onver the last 20 years (every year in the last 5 years). The prices are very reasonable and you are only a couple minutes of lazy walk to the beach. The motel is very clean... More
