Older property but very convenient to the beach. At a comparably good price point to other options when we compared. We go to the beach for the beach and not necessarily for the amenities of the motel.

I loved that it was just walking distance to the beach and the place was not very expensive. The rooms were kept clean and the people were very nice. One of the best motels I’ve stayed at. Only issue was WiFi was not very good but overall. Very good

Everyone we encountered from the staff were extremely nice and helpful when needed. You can see the ocean from your bed and we were one of the furthest rooms away! Great place would highly recommend.

The motel was very clean and all the staff were quite nice. My only complaint were my neighbors above me and beside me. They were extremely loud (sounded like fighting) and yelling, and they repeatedly kept slamming their sliding door. I called the front desk and let them know and it did get better that night. But it never completely stopped.

This property is in a great location. If they would spend a few extra dollars and do a deep clean, this property would be top notch. We did love that there was no smoking.
