Great little motel on the beach. Small parking lot, but in walking distance to many local places, short drives to stores, and less than a 2 minute walk from room to beach.

The room I stayed in was nice, but the commotion from people playing music till 11 pm outside my room was ridiculous. And parking was right tight being almost all parallel parking and people driving significantly large trucks taking up two spots at a time. So was only a few parking spots available.

Shower was the best feature in my opinion - hot water was plentiful and water pressure was AMAZING. Room was spotless, beds were comfortable, and I found ample nice quality pillows. My only beef was the room charge for a single night was hiked up due to Memorial Day weekend which SUCKS and the late checking in time of 4PM was extremely inconvenient as well. I paid an exorbitant price for a less than 24 hour stay.

The room was supposed to be a "courtyard view" . The only thing we could see was the road and the office. It was the furthest room from the ocean, unlike the true courtyard view rooms.

Everything is convenient and one step to the ocean! The room is clean and cozy. It was especially nice that the kitchen has everything you need to cook food - from forks and cutting boards to stoves and pans! 👍 But you can also skip cooking, and go across the street and eat in a small restaurant!
