The room was spotless, and he upgraded us to the spa room. The service was outstanding. The owner was so kind and generous. He picked us up at the airport because we had to drop off the car a day early, and then took us back to the airport the next day. He recommended places to eat and see. Very kind, helpful, and the accomodations were great. The one thing I loved the most is the the vanity mirror was next to a window so it was easy to to see to put on your makeup. Highly reccomend Arcadia Motel!

Personalised, exceptional service

We had an incredible stay. The personal service was what really sets this place apart. The apartment we stayed in was tidy and had all the necessities. The beds were very comfortable. The beach walkway was a quick stroll from hotel and everywhere you’d want to go in the area was a close drive. We appreciated the customer service most of all. The owner was so nice and welcoming. The family takes pride in their hotel and it shows.
