The motel is small, older but fairly well kept. They have a heated outdoor pool, that we did not use because it was raining. The motel is on the ocean side but behind a larger hotel so there were no views. They have a good sized parking lot & wonderful staff.

Not a fancy place, just basic and does the job, the room was clean and had everything you need for a basic stay , mini fridge, microwave, AC and TV. I really have nothing to complain about. Park is ample, just a short walk to the beach and they have a pool, I would definitely stay again.

Room is pretty clean for the price the staff at the front counter is very nice air conditioning works exactly how it's supposed to. Your view is the building right behind you and the parking lot but for the price can't beat it great for a family that is on a small budget
