Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The location is incredible! Right on the beach. Just amazing views! However I had to change rooms because the bathroom sink was stopped up and gurgling black stuff up. The second room had the same problem with the sink. There’s cigarette butts all over the grounds. Trash is blowing around. The stay was supposed to be for quiet and relaxing peace. The other vacationers were very loud and stomping all night. Won’t be very likely to go back.

A great little motel on the beach

It was a nice location on the beach. We went for a car show and it was a perfect location. Nothing fancy but solid place to stay for a night or two. Friendly staff!

It was nice

This was our first time staying in seven years and it now has a new management. Check-in was a breeze. We appreciated the updates however there needs to be a new stove ASAP. Everything else was fine great location!

I love how close it is to the beach and how every room has an ocean side. Sometimes you can hear street noise from the main drag in our room, however to be fair there was a car show in the park two blocks away. Really love staying here.
