Room was spacious and accommodated our group perfectly for our girls weekend away. Great view of York beach from our balcony. However, there was no staff on site all weekend. I was notified that the office would be closing at 3 on Friday, and how to access our room keys, but this message didn't state that the office would be closed all weekend. We also had issues with one of the TVs in the room and couldn't get in touch with anyone to resolve the issue.

Office closes at 3pm was notified by message. This seems unusually early but it’s fine. but the phone number supplied for assistance went straight to the voice mail. Every time. This is not acceptable. There was someone who booked for two nights at this motel who appeared quite very distressed. Apparently when she tried returning to her room on the second day and found out her key was deactivated. She tried to get a hold of someone out in the cold vehicle for a while and saw me walking in and asked for help. I tried contacting the phone and Expedia and finally somebody messaged on Expedia messaging platform, I needed some supplies but I decided to go without trying to ask for help. Two stars because the room was clean. I will not return

HORRIBLE! Went to check in and there was a sign on the door saying the office was closed with a sign to get our keys out of the "lock" box with the code shown on the sign. The "lock" box was unlocked with our keys in an envelope with our room number. We got to the room and it wasn't cleaned. Someone apparently started cleaning it and then left. No sheets on the bed and a dirty comforter on the chair. We called the number on the paper they gave us multiple times and it just went to voicemail. Same thing when calling the main number. Don't go here. It's dirty and unsafe.
This is what the room looked like when we arrived.

They put the lockbox code on the sign so anyone can unlock the box and get your keys. Dangerous! Someone could be waiting in your room.

I love the location—just about right on the beach. Love the enclosed patio, the spacious room, and the pet friendliness. My only problem was the little fridge making a constant loud noise. I told them at the front desk so that when I go back, I won’t get the same room. They said they’d get a new fridge by then. That would impress me!
