This is a very quaint motel with cute theme rooms. The staff is very helpful and accomodating. If you have accessibility issues ask about stairs as unit #8 has stairs in the room and is not in the Expedia description of the room.

Wenda

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The manager was very kind and helpful, suggesting restaurants and local interests. The bed was very comfortable, ocean view was limited from balcony due to room location. The room was recently remodeled and done very tastefully. Main concern was the property was right on the highway which resulted in a fair amount of truck noise. Also, access coming from Newport at night was difficult to see, particularly when there was traffic. A lighted sign a few feet ahead of the entrance on the approach would have helped.

The room was clean but a bit smaller then i expected from pictures online. The staff was great. The beach was close but you had a very long step stairway to go down to get there. The bottom of the steps was a long drop. It was a nice quiet hotel and worth the cost.
