Enjoyed our stay at Mainsail motel, traveled in from Canada. The facility was clean, and everything worked. Had a late check in, called the number on the office door and were checked in with no issues. Parked on site below room. Motel was right across the road from an amazing cafe and a 5 min walk to the main strip along the ocean.
