They do not provide hair dryer. When we arrived we had an extra roll of toilet paper but when we needed it, it was gone. Housekeeping must have taken it to give to another room. Housekeeping also took my shower cap that I brought from home since I knew the Motel did not supply them.

We arrived to the area a day early and they had a room available for Friday night only. Basic room on the 2nd floor. Sliding glass door to get into the room, no other windows. We were in the parking lot side but the deck did wrap around so we checked out the ocean. The room was small but it was clean. A/C worked great. The sink area was outside the bathroom which was a plus. We walked up the street and had a wonderful dinner at Andrea’s in the ocean. We would go back.

There was absolutely no where to park on arrival. However the staff was actively working to resolve cars that didnt beling on the property. I reccomend never going on a weekend day during the summer. Very loud and crowded with cigareette and pot smell every where. Would not had had a problem if it was only allowed at the outside bar. The worst part was blood on our sheets and when the replacement sheets were brought to us we were offered a round of drinks from the bar and no other compensation. Which was completely unfortuate since that set the tone for our stay. The staff was very friendly but it did not make up for the sheet incident.

It's not fancy, but it has everything we need for a quick beach getaway. I come every year with my daughter. We love the easy access to the beach, the bar right on the beach, and everyone is so friendly.
