What guests think

At Island View Motel, guests often highlight the friendly staff, easy access to the beach across the street, and clean rooms, while others point to dated spaces, maintenance issues, and limited onsite support, resulting in a mixed overall experience.

A small front pool is appreciated by families, while parking is limited and maneuvering can be difficult at busy times. Several reviews say it is a long walk to the pier and busier center, which makes the immediate area quieter. Overall, expect a simple stay with friendly vibes but noticeable wear.

Nice clean little spot. However, if you are staying here and plan on walking to the pier/main area it’s quite a ways, especially if you have children and a lot of stuff to carry. Another thing I was not a fan of, is how small the parking area is. When we arrived at night time, ready for bed there was no room in the parking lot for us to park. We had to shimmy our way into a spot that left us no room to open our doors on either side.

For the price it's not great. Three floors with small stairs you have to carry everything up. Limited parking. Staff only on site till 8pm. A mile from the pier. Flooring wasn't great in room and dirty.

View from room looks at buildings and wires blocking the ocean. Pool closes at 8pm has to use the neighbors pool closes at 10pm, closest coffee is 20 minute walk… Rates are to high to just have a place to sleep, A/C is to small for room. No balcony only two chairs near entrance door on third floor, would have to climb on roof for a nice view.

Old and rundown. Beds/mattresses were all sunk in. Pillows flat and old. Went in to take a shower and tub was filthy. I don’t think it had been really cleaned in a long time. Shampoo and soap stains in tub. Huge gap in door exposing the outside. Had to stuff washcloths in gap. I could go on and on. Left a day early with no refund. Shame on the owner for renting in that condition.

DO NOT STAY HERE! The photos posted do not represent this hotel at all. They failed to mention a train track runs directly behind the property with trains running 3-5 times a day and night. My room had holes in the ceiling tears in the flooring, basically one light in the room and most of the lights were out in the bathroom. The bed was uncomfortable and the air conditioner was a window air conditioner about the size of a small microwave stuck in the wall. I ended up leaving after my first night with no refund of course. I had booked 4 nights! This is an old hotel in need of a complete renovation !

Very close to the beach, often just across the street, but several note it is a long walk or about a mile to the pier and main strip. Being farther from the center makes the immediate area quieter for some.
