Easy check-in and out which was great. An older style of motel that needs a bit of maintenance but very clean and had everything I needed, plus a comfy bed and an amazing pillow. Only downside was that the shower control was a bit jammed and I could only get a tepid setting - fine because it is summer just now. Easy walk to the beach and shops and great area
