I love how quaint and clean the place is. I enjoyed the restroom being clean I’ve been in hotels with questionable restrooms. Cleaning ladies came back after we asked them to come back later. The view is great. Walking distance from the beach and pier by not too close where all you get is noise. I enjoyed the rental bikes they had they were cute and affordable and fun and the extra security gate made me feel safer

Great location and price
Arrived and staff was super friendly and accommodating. This motel is of an older era, but it is so charming! You can tell that there have been updates made and done in very good taste. We were in an ocean view with kitchen and it was perfect! Security is also very good and attentive. Parking can be tight, but wasn’t really ever an issue. Great value for what you get in an accommodation and location was perfect! Walking distance to great restaurants not to mention the ocean! I would definitely return.

Really nice location, close to main street where you can find little restaurants, cafes and so on and basically across the road from the Ocean. The rooms are spacious enough and clean, parking around the property is convenient (and if there is no parking, you can pay a fee to park in the property). All the staff encounters were positive, kind people. A suggestion: update the carpets, they make the room feel older than it really is :)

The office manager was great and allowed us to check in early. Very good location with an easy walk to the beach, pier and Maim Street activities. The hotel photos do not match the actual rooms or property. The foot of our bed was higher than the head.
