Stayed for four nights. Room was dated but very clean and comfortable. I found the “welcome” email I received right when I booked a little aggressive, but did not have a negative experience at all. Both people I interacted with were fabulous and friendly!! Would definitely stay again!!

Extremely friendly lady when we checked in. The room was very clean, the only thing was the mattress was a bit too firm for me. Overall I would 100% recommend this hotel, and I will be a repeat guest.

The worst dive ever. Mould on tub Disgusting bathroom ceiling and baseboards. In need of repairs. Smelled of smoke so strongly I gaged all night. Smell of some kind of perfume scent possible to get the bad smell out of the room. Fridge not cleaned out smelled of rot and dirty. Super disappointed for 138 Gross gross gross

The owners are really nice people . The room was clean and had a really nice ocean and boat launch view right across the street . My room 37 had a fridge , microwave , coffee machine and an airconditioner . The ocean walking path is right across the street and runs 28 km along the ocean . I had car troubes and had to stay another night. The motel said no vvacancy but the owner was able to let me keep my room another night which was super helpful as i really liked it there and has happy i didnt have to move to another motel.
