This is a hidden gem. It’s an upgraded motel, but very nicely done. Be prepared for a traditional motel with rooms around the inner parking lot. It is right across the street from Moonstone beach, which is beautiful. They have a small pool and jacuzzi. The best part is Adirondack chairs and a fire out to watch the sunset. Very nice.
