The property was situated on the beach and had convenient walkable access to a popular pier restaurant. However, during our visit, there were many smokers on the property, especially around the pool deck. Although the room I booked was smoke-free, the smell of smoke was unavoidable in common areas.

Vintage 60's motel

Its an adorable 60's retro motel with some upgrades (renovated bathrooms and locks), a nice size pool, and right on the beach. Sound does carry, so bring earplugs.

The pictures online were deceiving. It looks really nice but when you get there, it's pretty run down and not maintained very well. People actually live in a few of the units. Parking was usually full but they let us park on the grass area or by the sidewalk by the road. The staff was nice though.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff was very friendly. It was an older hotel but had everything we needed. Two lounge chairs for tv watching, a kitchen small but efficient for our needs. Only negative was a stained shower curtain in the bathrooom shower. There was a table and chairs where we could have our meals. However we ate out to celebrate my husbands 94th birthday. There were many stores and restaurants within driving area. We walked down the beach but it was cold and windy this time of year so unable to go in the water. Observed three surfers with wet suits that braved the cold. Would recommend this place for those who want a vacation that won’t break the bank, very reasonably priced.

The property is dated but it's clear they are working to update. It was really clean and right on the beach. For the price, you can't beat it.
