Was pleasantly surprised! It was nicely upgraded, the bed was so cozy it was close to the beach and dining. Walked to a cool little place around the corner for appetizer s and drinks. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved this small motel/resort. The staff was very welcoming and everything was so clean. It was remodeled about a year and a half ago and is just lovely!! Comfortable beds and pillows. The beach is only about a block away and is a pretty walk through the neighborhood. Two suggestions: a desk chair in the room would be useful as well as more towel hooks/bars in the bathroom.

On first look the motel looks to be a B grade property--doors opening to the parking lot etc. However, the staff is very welcoming, the rooms are generously sized and very clean, and the pool and hot tub are very nice.
