Very clean room. Room appeared to be updated. Great price only paid 116 for one night with two queen beds. Front desk had great customer service. Great location close to the beach and had two restaurants with in walking distance. Pet friendly for an additional 25 bucks a night you can bring a dog. The outside of the motel looks old but overall a great deal. Beds comfortably was average. Room was nicer then others near by that cost more.

Very unfriendly staff!! No one mans the front desk, waiting awhile to be helped. When they finally arrived NOT a greeting, smile or anything during our check-in. Pre-reserved room and paid ahead, provided ID and credit card and when he wanted me to sign a little digital signature box, I asked what am I signing and he just said confirmation. Upon arrival was given an upstairs room. With most the parking lot empty, I requested a first floor room us being a little older. After several excuses by the front receptionist, he finally did it. We were just below where we would have been upstairs. There were literally 7 cars in the whole parking lot (which included 4 for our families stay) and we only stayed one night.
