Blue Heron's location was convenient, good price, staff was pleasant, room was very clean and beach front. Not the newest hotel but that was part of the charm.
We would go back again.

Cold and tired
I was put in a room with no heat. When I tried to get in the hot shower, the steam set off the smoke alarm 😞 the attendant came out and I told him it was cold and no heat was in the room but he offered no alternative I was a late arrival and so tired that I crawled under the covers and went to sleep but it was so cold when I got up and a hot shower just set off the alarm again. I was very disappointed in the accommodation and work down here all the time but I won’t book here again.

Room was very clean and comfortable. Loved the indoor hot tub. Warmest heated pool I’ve ever been in. My only complaint is the loud fan in the pool area. Had to shout to talk. Would have spent more time there if it weren’t for the fan. Bonus is that they waved the pet fee during Christmas. We will use hotel again in the future.

we loved the property! although a little older, and the walk up the stairs to the third floor was a little tiring. when we looked out from the balcony on to the ocean and seashore we were mesmerized by the beauty. Sound of the waves coming to shore, was and is so peaceful and centering. Large room, comfortable bed and just so peaceful and beautiful wow. WE didn't want to leave.

Economy Room Stay
The economy room is right over the office by the road and not connected to the rest of the motel. It was very comfortable and affordable, though not the most picturesque location. The hot tub was wonderful in the winter. Access to the beach was very easy.

It’s a motel… nothing fancy about it. Back door needs replacing. Pool was great. We had the indoor pool to ourselves.
