Did the job.

Motel is a bit dated, but was priced right for a quick 2 day trip to the shore. Despite a pool right outside our door, it was quiet at night. Very well lite in the courtyard/pool area, which made it a bit tough to sleep at night. Dresser drawers were completely broken and sticking out, so not functional. Blinds were broken. Room was clean, which was most important to us.
