Very clean property. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Had a great time.
Clean, safe lodging in a 50s DooWop motel. Owners were welcoming and clearly take care of the property. Pool was clean and beach is less than a block away. Will definitely stay again!
Our first getaway in 3 years. We love staying in the crest and thought we would try a new place. The staff were wonder. The place is super clean. The only down fall was no outlet to blow dry your hair in the bathroom. Very close to the beach. I would highly recommend this place to stay at!!
Great value for the money. Pleasant check-in, comfortable bed, clean room, nice area. Improvements could be plastic cups in room and also a tissue box.

The property was super clean ill give them that. But the size of the room for the price was left much to be desired. Talk about shrinkflation. Unfortunately i wouldn't repeat the visit but i did appreciate how clean it was.
Our room was extremely clean and looks like fresh paint throughout the motel. Pool was cleaned every morning. I can’t emphasize the detail of cleanliness.

good quality for the price! close to the beach, walkable, nice 4 day vacay!
I liked the proximity to the beach which was just down the street with easy walking distance. The beds were very comfortable and there was a lot of drawer space. I didn't use the pool but it looked very clean.
Ala Kai (and the recently purchased, Blue Marlin) are nice hotels to stay with family, friends, and couples. Clean, quiet, and can’t beat the location…
Our room had a kitchen with stove, microwave and full size fridge. That came in handy. No heat, so at the end of the season we were lucky it wasn't very cold.
Stayed 2 nights. Were a little worried because price was so reasonable but room was very clean just like the other reviews stated. Very very close to beach. We were happy with our stay there.
