Great location. Clean, safe and walk across the street to the beach! Perfect! No frills in this property but it was perfect for me. Meaning, the bathroom is quite small and outdated, but it was hot and clean. Cute, cute place! Very nice people and staff were exceptional, always asking if you need anything. Ohhhhh, and they have free coffee in the morning!

I screwed up and reserved a room for one night but intended two. At check-in, although I had to switch rooms for night 2, they fixed me up and both rooms were nice. Very helpful and friendly staff. Would recommend to friends.

The motel was in a great location directly across the street from the beach. Outside property of the motel was very very nice. Room amenities were good as well but our room at a very very musty smell that did not seem to diminish while we were there. Other than that, I would highly recommend this motel.
