The location was excellent it was right near everything. The motel itself is a little on the older side. The mattresses were not very comfortable but we only use it to sleep
They were doing some construction on some of the rooms so parking was a little bit of a pain but other than that it was very nice very pleasant stay very pleasant staff
We had such a great stay at the Dry Dock Motel. Great location, very close to the beach. The staff are very friendly. The pool was very clean. The room was very comfortable and inviting.
Very dirty we found hair and stains on the sheets and the rooms are connected by just closet door with a large gap under so we heard everything the room next to us was saying
I didn’t even stay there. Took a look at 2 different rooms and they were so stinking that I didn’t even check in. Call Expedia to cancel and when Expedia call them they were nasty. That was the only motel with available rooms. I wonder why.
