This motel gave me exactly what I wanted: direct beach access without the big hotel prices. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean felt like a luxury in itself.

We didn't feel safe parking the car in the parking lot. The walls were so thin, we heard every little noise. The room was old and needed upgrades. The view of the ocean and access to the beach was very nice.

I had a wonderful stay at this motel! It’s in a truly unique location — right by the coast with beautiful views you don’t often find elsewhere. The atmosphere feels peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a quiet getaway. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. You can really feel that they care about their guests. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a special stay!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Parking was easy and was pet-friendly. We booked a garden view room but it was mostly parking and road view. Our room coffee machine didn’t work. The bathroom air conditioner was a window, If we decided to open the window, people who wanted to go to their rooms could easily see inside the bathroom and toilet. They hadn’t provided new toilet paper or tissues, and they ran out in less than half a day. The floor carpet was not clean.
