Our room and bed were comfortable. The motel location is great. It's close to the beach, in the downtown business area, close to good restaurants and very close to The House of Flavors! Also, the price was right.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very affordable motel essentially right in downtown within walking distance to everything. Clean room, good staff. Complementary breakfast does not run during the non-summer off-season, but all the other amenities and professionalism make it worth it at its good good price. Plus, you'll want to just walk downtown for a coffee or a muffin. Would recommend and would happily stay here again.

This property is older but it was clean. When I booked I was told there was free breakfast but when I got there, they said they only do it in the summer.

I was here overnight for work, and while it wasn't the best or newest/most updated place I've ever stayed, it was clean and served it's purpose. Walls are pretty thin and it was difficult to sleep as someone next to me had the television or radio on all night and it could be heard through the walls.
