Our room and bed were comfortable. The motel location is great. It's close to the beach, in the downtown business area, close to good restaurants and very close to The House of Flavors! Also, the price was right.

The room and bathroom was very clean. However Expedia said there was free breakfast, there was no breakfast. In fact the office door was locked until at least 7:00 am when we left.

Kind of costly for the quality but it was clean and the staff were very nice. It is a great location to walk to area and go to the beach. Room had a funky smell but wasn't terrible for a one night stay.

Very affordable motel essentially right in downtown within walking distance to everything. Clean room, good staff. Complementary breakfast does not run during the non-summer off-season, but all the other amenities and professionalism make it worth it at its good good price. Plus, you'll want to just walk downtown for a coffee or a muffin. Would recommend and would happily stay here again.

Very outdated. Caulked over black mold in bathroom in all corners. No bath exhaust fan. Stocked with only one partial roll of toilet paper. No cleanex at all. Very doubtful that the comforters had been washed recently. Carpet was extremely dirty. Would never stay there again.
