Like the fact that we were able to bring our dog and had a room on the bottom level where we can bring the dog outside plus the restaurant had a patio where we were able to have our dog while we ate lunch.

The property is nice being right by the ocean. The pool area is odd and uninviting with the lounge chairs being outside the pool area. Except being woken up by a party happening at 1am it was a nice place.

We always enjoy ourselves when we come here. The most important thing to me is that it is clean. And it was clean. Everyone was nice. I just wish they didn't let RV's park in the lot in front, we paid for a partial ocean view, but the RV was sitting in front of the view.

Lovely location, a well kept older motel, yes it needs some work, but you can see they are making improvements and maintaining things. The restaurant prices are high, but comparable with the local restaurants. Check in was fast and flawless, Luis at the front desk was very professional and friendly.
