The ocean was visible from our room. The room was "older" but clean and a great location. We added another night because we loved hearing the waves crash on the beach! Will stay again.

This quaint beach hotel was everything the doctor ordered. Reasonably priced, right on the ocean. The room was comfortable, good shower. My only drawback was the mattress was a hard sleep. We could feel the springs and all woke up a little sore. The room was very clean and modern. Nice having the pier so close. The restaurant was good but quite pricey, better meals can be found inland .

The room was cleaned and smelled good/ clean, bed was very comfortable sheets and blankets and pillows all in good shape towels also. This room was more than adequate and very convenient to the beach and the fishing pier next-door. I’m not sure it’s the right term to use, but this is an old school motel that is properly maintained and cleaned. The staff were available and friendly, price was a fair market offering.
