The motel is old that's a given. However it is clean and most of all affordable for people on a budget. The managers are great and very friendly. The beach is right across the street. We are not in the room a lot during our vacation, usually there long enough to shower and sleep so this is perfect.

I have stayed at Moran several times over the last 40 years and it has never been nasty or smelly. It is by far one of the best "mom and pop" motels I have ever stayed in. I would recommend it to anyone. It is an older motel so, of course, there may not be any wifi or other really... More

The room was not clean. As a matter of fact we went to the Dollar Tree down the road so that I could buy clorox wipes, febreze spray, lysol spray and an air freshener to clip on to the air conditioner just to get rid of the body odor smell. You should have seen the clorox wipes after I wiped... More

The Moran is right across the street from a public beach access. Our room was clean as was the whole place in general. You can get an effeciency apt. there in season for almost half what you will pay for a room at The Sand Dunes or Admirals Quarters. A few minor negatives emphasis on minor. No beachfront rooms. we...

We always love the area but the hotel across the street are a huge let down..seems every year we had a problem with our reservations not being what was offered when reserved..last year we decided to extend our vacation and give the Moran a try based on the reviews..we were impressed !...

All the reviews were top notch on the Moran Motel. When we stayed there was nothing we could disagree with. Motel is older but well maintained and very clean. We had a small effiency and it had everything we required in it. Prices are reasonable and the location is convenient. Beach entry right across the street, fishing pier right across... More

My husband and two boys ages 10 and 2 stayed over the memorial day weekend and love the area, the staff and the owners go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be. The room number 8 was great for a small family plenty of room to play the rooms were clean and the beds... More

The room was old but clean. The shower was the smallest I've ever seen on the planet. But being right across from the beach is fantastic. Their rates were pretty good even in season. Walking distance to food, arcade, pier, bars and the beach.

Very clean! Great bed, very comfortable. A/C and TV perfect. Bath very small but ok. Stayed in Room 5, Nov. 8-10, 2010. Would be nice to have "black-out" curtins "oceanside" because lighted signs and morning sun come thru very blightly. I had to bring out my eye slades. Otherwise, very clean and nice owner's. Enjoyed talking to them. Motel is... More
