For a very old motel, the proprietors have done an excellent job of keeping it in good shape. Rooms were clean and somewhat updated. Pool area was very nice. A great affordable place to spend away from home for a few days.

It's a great space for kids. The pool is right at your door. Big enough for 3. Went to beach to see the sunset, it was a 2 min drive. You can even walk. Will come back for sure.
