"Hannibal Buress said, ‘You want a two star hotel, with 4 stars.” This is a one star hotel with 5 stars. This place is so cute it makes my teeth hurt. Clean, tidy, and everything you expect at a hotel. Close to restaurants. Pedestrian path to beach. Good beach: it took more time walking to clams than it did limiting out. Loved the book selection. Used every level of the fridge. You can brew a whole pot of coffee not a single cup. They even had paper plates and cutlery so you can get takeout and eat in comfort. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ve stayed in hip hotels in Chicago and Portland that were smaller and didn’t have a real door on the bathroom."

"I went to spend some time on the beach. The room was nice, clean, showing it's age. Owners were very nice & accommodating. I forgot my insulated cup & went back to get it & they had it ready for me, as I had called to say I was heading back to get it. Will definitely stay again."

"This was the most economical option for our family vacation. We got more than what we expected! I loved making breakfast in the fully equipped kitchenette and the proximity to the beach is excellet! It was cozy and relaxing to hear the ocean from our room. The management was kind and courteous. We will definitely stay again if we revisit Ocean Shores."

"The owners were very friendly and helpful. Our room was an adorable sea themed and clean room. It's a short walk from the beach front and you can even hear the ocean from the motel. Would definitely stay here again. :)"

"First off the staff are amazing. So sweet and accommodating! We originally booked for 2 nights and ended up staying an extra night. The room was beach rustic and nice. We had a bonfire 2 of the nights. Everyone we met that were staying there was super pleased with their stay also. Quiet, clean, private, and super close to the beach! We really dont have anything negative to say. I guess the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was because our shower was small but really that wasn't a big deal. Our room had a nice queen bed, cable tv, fridge, micro wave, coffee pot, and a fan if needed. We will definitely be staying there again!"
