The room was clean and the staff friendly. It is an older motel so the A/C was a little loud. Vanity, shower, toilet lights and the exhaust fan all operated off one switch. Bring a night light or you going to the bathroom in the dark or wakeup your partner. Not ideal.

Across the Bridge, nice views quiet, can walk to a nearby beach. Jog across the bridge and you’re at the beach and park. Friendly staff, helpful and accommodating. Reasonably priced in comparison to other motels. Room was very spacious. I really liked the layout.
