The motel is clean and staff and management are friendly. Good location, close to beach and town. Beds are small and a bit hard. We have stayed several times in the past and has been several years since last time. For the price it is lacking and will likely look for different accomadations next time. It is a good second choice but pricy for what is offered.
We were disappointed in the plastic feeling sheets. Why not use plastic over mattress, but with 100% cotton layers over that? Also, we were disappointed there was no pool, which we expected for the price of the stay.
Andy was super friendly when we checked in. The room was very clean. We couldn’t find the bathroom ventilation fan…a little strange. And there’s no lock on the bathroom door as well. But overall ,it is a clean room. Easy parking and easy drive to mist destinations.

Hotel is clean. Beds aren’t the comfiest but ok for one night. Location is awesome. Small parking lot so if you have a larger vehicle, it might be tricky getting in/out. Be aware that their cancellation policy is 72 hours compared to the usual 24 hours. It’s a full nights stay if you cancel within 72 hours.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious with many updates. Close to the beach. Comfy beds, big TV, lots of channels. Kitchenette, good AC.
