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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
