Older rooms and the beds weren’t the most comfortable but we really enjoyed our stay. The pool was nice, there was a play set outside for the kids, and the beach was great. There is a nice restaurant next door too which was nice. We’d stay again!

Hotel is older and definitely in need of updates. Breakfast was average. Check in is 3:00, when we arrived at 3:30, our room was not ready. Finally got a text at 4:30 saying our room was ready. Given that this was mid-week and the hotel was not full, it was very disappointing. Also, pool and hot tub are only open until 8pm, would have been nice if they were open until 9 or 10 which is typical of other hotels.

The motel was OK, nice and clean. Close to trails, beach and a short walk into town which was nice. Downside, bed was terrible, all the support had gone on one side, felt like I was going to roll out. We only stayed the one night so made do.

Very clean. It’s an old motel, but they did a good job keeping it up. Continental breakfast leaves something to be desired, but what do you expect? Overall, clean safe property with a great view and easy access to the beach.
