Great little motel near everything. Property is a little older, but the location is walking distance to many activities and restaurants. Even though they do not offer breakfast, it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the rooms. The family that owns the property are very nice and accommodating to requests.

Basic motel within 5 min walk to closest beach entrance , rooms got some updates and ok overall. Area feels better than where similarly priced motels near I-5 are , it, still few homeless can be seen around. With right price it can be a good deal if you don’t mind infrequent cleaning service.

Its adjacent to an active and noisy military base.Its 100 yards from train crossing and every 45 minutes the horn blasting stresses me out and prevents sleep. The room is the size of a crackerJack box. No bathtubs, floors are filthy. Wifi didn't work neither did the Heater. It's cheap for a good reason. It's a little better than staying in your car.
