Last minute trip

Stayed here with my teen daughter, very last minute. After a long drive it was so great to get to a clean and comfortable room. The beds were cozy and the staff was friendly. Not a bunch of frills. Just clean and comfortable. We'll stay again.

My mom and I stayed here for one night during our trip along the coast. The outside appears as a typical motel, but inside, the rooms are hotel quality! Would highly recommended staying here. Very modern, clean, and safe. Balconies on each room look out into a private courtyard which would be great for kids. Across from the beach, about a 10 min walk down, so if your room is closer to the front , you can hear the waves at night. Fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, all in working order. Thanks for a great stay!
