I stayed here for about a week from June 7th to June 13th 2026 it's not a bad hotel but the rooms were dirty didn't look like it's been mopped or swept the bathroom was nasty we had to clean out the tub and get out a big hairball I had to go buy a mop and a broom to clean up the floors they ran out washcloths no coffee maker in the rooms in a main bedroom didn't I had no dressers not very good for handicapped people on the bottom floor but it did have a good view of the Bay and also the beds were hard the bathroom toilet is really short anytime you get off the toilet you hit your head the towel bar. And also when you go to the bathroom and get the stuff up and your trip all the time it's not good for elderly people either.

Free breakfast and dogs allowed. Dog fee is $30 daily and a max total of $150 if staying longer. There is a dog run that is very nice. The fencing needs to be replaced. There was a German Shepherd that jumped the fence and part of the fencing broke. The rooms were decent and clean. The staff was informative and nice. Other than littered cigarette butts on the grounds, its a very well kept up place in an aging motel from the 1960s. I enjoyed my stay(other than the dog attack from the shepherd) and I would stay here again.

This place is a hidden gem. Ocean/ Chesapeke Bay frontage. Walk right out the back to a quiet beach. Has pool, very clean rooms and free breakfast every morning. Reasonably priced for the area. Norfolk area is great!

From booking this motel to leaving everything went smoothly. I had to change my plans several times due to unforseen circumstances. Tina was so helpful in assisting with this. Everybody that I had contact with was sooooo friendly and nice. I'll be back. Joanne from Philly
