Best WLM Reviews

The rooms are definitely older and basic, but they were extremely clean! We didn't see any bugs or mold in the room and with two toddlers i did a thorough check. The staff was very accommodating and polite to my husband, myself and our two toddlers. The location was incredible. We plan to return!
The woman at the front desk is awesome! She's there year after year every year that I come! She's the only one cleaning rooms, taking phone calls, check in guests, and checking them out! She doesn't get enough credit! People think she's being mean because she asks them to wait, what they don't realize is she's the only one. She made sure I was accommodated for everything that I needed and made sure that my air conditioner wasn't leaking cuz she was having problems in some of the rooms. She made me feel very welcomed and I am happy to go there again next year. I've been going for 3 yr now n won't go anywhere else

Due to a series of unfortunate events i found myself in an area i wasn't familiar with yet. At 2 am, of course it was raining and I have stormed off from my previous situation ...(that's a long different story). But I digress, I walked by this place with a vacancy sign. And being i was soaked from being outside in the rain for 2 hours. He looked at me a little confused at first but in my distress I didn't realize he was trying to translate my fuckwit to English he's some how understands me and I get rescued. I got a room and started doing what I needed to not be sick or worse. The heat worked! I saw no bugs! And for travelers who don't use prevent pesticides look it up its a life changer. You can't predict what you'll run into but you can be proactive and knowledgeable. The beds were decent, pillows were a little soft but as a single traveler I used the pillows from the other bed. Decor is definitely outdated bachelor best friend place. Fridge with freezer and microwave i used the fridge not the microwave. Matenenice was definitely required in the bathroom and walls but as was not that disrupted by it and it was clear it just needed some attention. I was also lucky enough that he gave me a smoking room but there were no signs saying as such but there weren't any no smoking signs. So when I looked around for an ashtray (usually available) , not one spotted so I smoked outside. In the morning the manager came up and I grabbed another day so I could do what I had to do, probably should have just did 2 just to be safe. Oh well, as the day progressed I did observe the atmosphere as it seemed to be a in a busy area with some nice travlers and locals. There was some riffraff about but nothing to outrageous no police. The man was diligently doing upkeep in other rooms (painting for sure) from what I witnessed he also did everything else at the lobby. The women that screams at the guest I luckily had no inactions with. But if it makes you feel any better she was screaming at the man at some point in the day, so I think she has this interaction with everyone. Everyone has met was lovely and help even when being woken up in the middle of the night. I was also a little bummed when I looked up the online and the deals at the same place where considerably discounted and i wish I had time to look at them before rebooking. I did get a discount the first night. And I only stayed for half of the day the next day because I was making my way home. But I hope it helps renovations as this place saved me and the price was still cheaper comparatively. I was lucky to walk this way.
When booking this my expectations was a dated motor lodge, that is a handy man special. She exceeded my expectations. Very hard working lady running the place. I'd recommend treating her like the lady she is. With the lowest rates on the beach I'm sure she's seen it all. All I wanted was a place to sleep and shower, as there is so much to do, and this went beyond. Very well lit parking lot at night, stay to the side on the stairs (like I stated handy man special).
We stayed here recently after a small stay at norfolk beach and let me tell you, the professionalism and cleanliness were much appreciated for a lower priced motel. It's oldschool decorated but clean with a great location, just a block walk from the boardwalk and beach. We would definitely stay here again...the lady in the office was a plus! I wish I had gotten her name.
This was the WORST experience i’ve ever had staying in a hotel. There was mold everywhere. It looked like nothing was cleaned or washed. Extremely overpriced for the quality of the room. This place should be taken more care of. Extremely disappointed, it made me want to cry.
I think the bad reviews really make this place look/sound bad when really that was not the case at all. I recently just stayed at this motel for 2 nights 3 days and my personal experience here was amazing. The front desk lady whom i forgot to get her name, she was super nice. I will be coming back next year!
1st off all any pictures you see online of this place are bait and switch. This place is HORRIBLE. Upon arrival I just knew I was in the wrong place because the pictures didn't match up. Upon arrival I had to wait for the desk person to come give me my keys when I looked at the room I immediately went back downstairs to tell her that I needed a refund but not surprisingly she was gone. I then contacted the travel app used to book and they tried to contact for 3 days with no luck. Then after finally getting in contact with them they lied and said they issued a refund prior when I never had a chance to speak to anyone because the hotel person was mia. Please don't waste your money or risk your health staying here
