We had a pleasant surprise when we initially pulled in. The 2 Queen bed was spacious and the kitchen was an unexpected addition. Overall the room was very clean, and well kept. The beds were decently comfortable. But when we walked in the air in the room was musty and the bathroom had a lingering smell of urine. We were able to air out the room but the bathroom while it looked very clean had a terrible smell. We opened window as much as possible but when window was open people could walk by and see in to the bathroom. Could not get the smell to go away. The property amenities were nice, they had a happy hour each night and the continental breakfast was good for starting the morning off. The location was an easy walk to the beach about 10 minutes. Biggest complaint was the road to enter the parking lot was very busy and lots of traffic. But you could not hear the noises of the road from the room. Not generally a fan of motel style of walk up to the doors or of shared balconys, but it felt safe and we were able to safely open the back door to aid in airing out the room. Overall we had a pleasant experience and hindsight we should have said something about the bathroom.

It’s an old motel. Pretty worn down and not a nice walk to town. There are way nicer places for the same cost. Pretty plantings in the courtyard though.

Really enjoyed the evening wine hour, and the breakfast was good. The complimentary champagne in the room was also a nice touch. Our only concern was there was some hair (not ours!) in the wall in the bathroom, which raises concerns about cleanliness, but otherwise it was a good stay.
