It was great that we walked out of the room and we practically already on the beach.
Athanasios, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was a old 3 story motel, with a luggage elevator. I loved this place the minute I got in my room. I was right on the beach, it's old in a reto way. I would stay here again. The view from the third floor rooms was breath taking. Stay if you can.

beautiful view, everything you need for a sandy ocean side vacation: good ac, comfortable clean room, pools, outdoor showers, access to the beach 10 feet from my door. Thank you, genuinely.
Elisabeth, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love how close it is to the beach and how every room has an ocean side. Sometimes you can hear street noise from the main drag in our room, however to be fair there was a car show in the park two blocks away. Really love staying here.

Ebony, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property was exactly what we were looking for. It’s very nice. I mean it’s not up to date with all the newest stuff, but everything worked and we were right in the beach. Pool was open all the time and there were 2 pools.
From our back door.
Ruby, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A great little motel on the beach

It was a nice location on the beach. We went for a car show and it was a perfect location. Nothing fancy but solid place to stay for a night or two. Friendly staff!

Bathroom was clean view was amazing. Nice pools and indoor pool/hot tub- all were clean. Floors were dirty in room and someone else’s ice cream in our freezer. Staff was friendly. Would stay here again.
Lari Anne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was a perfect location for us. Right on the beach. Easy to walk to with the grandkids. The indoor pool was such a great bonus.
Pamela, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I loved the location. I thought the room was clean and bright. We could have used somewhere to hang towels, hooks or racks. Also a table lamp or some kind of lower level lighting would be nice. The lights were very bright which is ok for sometime, but not all the time. We also had a little trouble parking. Could use a couple more spaces or limit guests to 1 car/room. I could tell a lot have work has been done to the hotel and it was generally very nice.
Pamela, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved that it was pet friendly.
Lloyd, 2-night trip
