Nice motel. Well equipped rooms. Staff was very, very nice. Was in a newer room with a hard floor. Being on the beach, a broom or mini vac in the room would be helpful. Constantly felt like I had sand on my feet - because I did. Housekeeping checked in on day 3 of 4 to see if I needed anything. I didn’t love being on the ground floor - but that is what was available.
