    Only promblem for us were the stairs. Room was spacious and bed comfortable. Missing basic toiletries such as facial tissue and shampoo. No phone in the room or coffee pot in the room. Maintenance was very helpful with accommodating us. Beach was awesome being right on the beach. Attractions were all close to hotel. We had a good visit.

    Room was filthy no toiletries available bedding was dirty carpet falling apart tv did not work .booked room through booking asked for a refund got no response from either booking or sea shell motel about the room. Booking passed message to shell sea which in turn didnt respond back ...so In all did not stay in a filthy room the room that was tried to give in exchange was even worse.

    The view is AWESOME. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was what I expected and a very cheap price for the stay.

    I was expecting a bit run down… we could handle that just think of camping on the beach. An adventure… but then… everything was cheap and ratty… the AC was blowing but only cooled a small section of the room! Owner came and said he’d get a fan but never came back. While the kids & I waited, I noticed white spots in the bedding and pubic hair in the sheets!! The beach itself was muddy and littered. The pool was small. There was absolutely nothing worthy of even a penny. We left, forfeited the money I spent. Took the loss Bc it was THAT GROSS! Completely unsuited for children for sure.

    El hotel es funcional, es muy antiguo como la gran mayoría de hoteles ahí, solo puedo decir que la vista y ubicación es espectacular, vale la pena todo y volvería a hospedarme ahí.

    Close to walk to the beach Booked and paid very early to reserve a room with full view to the beach , but on the day we got there , there are no more room with full view to the beach !

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The view was the only good thing I was on the beach, the “beach” view from my room was a joke. Literally the walking distance to the beach is the only good thing I have to say regarding the property There were drugs in my room upon arrival , trash in my room left for god knows how long, electrical wires just hanging outside, broken windows in my room oh and my bed was broken, never once offered to change our rooms or issue a refund , the pool was dirty and basically open to the public the side to get in from the hotel side was locked but the public entrance just wide open, the pool area was trashed , there was trash all over the facility and not cause they were cleaning it was left there the entire time. Oh top It off black mold in the room and the restroom sink didn’t work, ac also took forever to even cooldown

    The location, literally steps from the beach Staff was seldom available, no amenities like coffee, ice,fresh towels unless you asked, NOT ADA compliant

    Wow, what a gross motel. Before stepping into my room, i had to walk up a wooden staircase with over a dozen rusty nails sticking out of the steps, then had to step over a pool of neon green bacteria algae water that was leaking from the air conditioner. Walk into my room, and notice that there are no blankets. Just a sheet and a silk sheet. Upon further review, one bed had BLOOD STAINS in it! Disgusting. The other bed had hair all over the sheets, and zero pillow covers on any of the 4 pillows. The wall under the sink had some stain all over it, and there was no toilet paper. I didn’t know until it was too late. Furthermore, I found a half full baby bottle rotting on the floor under the bed , and I opened up the microwave to find baby food and carrots that had been rotting inside, probably for a while. I almost threw up all over this room. Went downstairs to let them know my room had not been cleaned AT ALL and had no toilet paper, and the guy just hands me 1 roll and doesn’t say a word. So I’m just starring at him with this blank look on his face and told Him I expect someone to come clean this room immediately. And they did. Changed the sheets, cleaned the microwave, but left the rotting milk baby bottle on the floor. If I could for this place a negative score, I would. The view is fantastic though !

    The location to north beach is the only thing nice. Very worn down, room was dirty, no toiletries, pool was filthy and a liability, bugs, toilet seat had no top. Uncomfortable stay.
