This hotel is in an ideal position right on the beach, making it super convenient for a relaxing getaway. The accommodations are varied, offering everything from standard rooms to a luxurious Honeymoon suite with a Jacuzzi. While there are many great features, like the pool and BBQ facilities, cleanliness and maintenance were lacking during my stay, particularly in the bathrooms and room amenities. Overall, it offers good value for money, but some improvements are definitely needed.

My stay at Schooner Motel started off rocky with rowdy guests, but I appreciated the beach proximity and overall room accommodations. The rooms, while a bit worn, offered essential amenities but could use some deep cleaning. It was concerning that there was no daily maid service, which might not suit everyone. Valued being steps away from the glorious gulf, but the room conditions and staff's focus on reviews rather than guest issues left me disappointed.

The hotel provides a reasonably priced stay with sufficient amenities for a beach getaway. While the location is superb, just steps from the beach, the rooms can be quite small and some maintenance issues are noticeable. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel at home. However, for those sensitive to cleanliness or looking for more space, this might not be the best option.
