The office person had difficulty understanding me when I asked a question about the room or property, but that was a very minor issue. The other staff were all super-friendly and helpful. Room was clean, and sufficient for our needs. Would have appreciated a vent in the kitchenette, as without one we triggered the smoke & heat alarm while cooking. I took the hotplate outside to finish cooking to resolve the smoke detector issue.

Stay here was okay - clean room and well equipped (microwave, mini fridge). Friends stayed down the road a bit and had ocean views at a less expensive price so unless the kitchen is important to you, would recommend a stay elsewhere closer to the beach and restaurants.

My room was right at the end of the building. Quiet, private, and I could park right outside my door. Super convenient! The young man at the front desk was delightful. Very friendly and helpful.

Nice surprise for a motel. Renovated bathroom counter. Had everything we needed. A nice beach across the road. Good value. Quirky switches for lights and the bathroom fan.
