Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
Comfort Inn University
"My group had three rooms. All had moldy, extremely damp rooms. Floors were dirty, and carpets were damp. We all left much earlier than planned the next morning because we were so uncomfortable. I’ve stayed at a lot of motels, this was the worse!"

"Great location, Don’t book if you have trouble climbing stairs. Light in room inop. TV was impossible to understand. Smoking area too close to building. Overall not a bad stay. Right next to beach, pier, restaurants."
