I just tried to book 6 rooms for a week in July for a small conference. Says no credit cards during July or some such crap. What hotel doesn't take credit cards these days? I'll tell you - one that doesn't put their customers first. I found another hotel right down the street that was more than happy to take... More

Overall excellent location near the beach, which is always a plus. What potential this place has if only they would bring in management who weren't so distrustful of their guests. I felt like I was staying at my overbearing aunts house. They should call this place the "don't" inn. Definitely don't expect to be able to pay for your room... More

The periwinkle location is perfect for us.I always enjoy the color and layout when we first drive up to register. The motel face's the beginning of the promenade overlooking the ocean. We like the pleasant walk of a half mile or so on the promenade to the center of activity and a little further to the outdoor mall. The motel... More
