It’s a nice motel, but a little dated. The staff is great. The breakfast was just OK. It’s about 2 miles from the spot tours leave from and about 3 miles from things like miniature golf. The nearest bar and restaurant are about 1/2 mile away. I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel was at great location with easy access to beach and restaurants. The pier that’s part of the hotel definitely needs some railings as it increases chance of accidents especially at night.

Right on the water with views . Long pier to watch sunsets. Pool clean and right on water and open till 1 am. Older room but clean. Only disappointment was breakfast. Yogurt , coffee, apples. Mini waffles , hard boiled eggs. Tiny sealed OJ cups. Should have muffins and danish at least for choices.

Close enough to the action, but far enough away. Convenient location that allows you multiple choices for driving to Assateague in 10 minutes. Staff was friendly and warm. Classic late 80s/90s beach vibe to the place which was exactly what I needed. The best sunsets, clean pool, and super cool hot tub room. I'll be back.
