The property is beautiful. The location is great., so close to the entrance of Highway one and also so easy to get down to West Cliff Drive. The room was so nice and they do house cleaning every day and that’s just such a nice treat. Rebecca is awesome. It was really quite an enjoyable trip.

This property is beautifully landscaped with very nice, clean rooms. It offers a free breakfast with many choices. If you have mobility issues, be aware there is no elevator and the breakfast room is on the second floor. It is not extremely close to the wharf or boardwalk, so plan to drive or Uber there unless you’re an avid walker. Staff was very friendly & responsive.

The rooms are remodeled and quite nice. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. The facilities are quite old but maintained ok. The hot tub barely worked and it was a guessing game on how to find our room. The man who checked us in was less then friendly

They were kind enough to give us a room upgrade when they heard that it was our honeymoon. The receptionist was very kind and helpful, offering several good restaurant recommendations. We felt safe there. The property was clean and kept up well. It was an excellent location for walking to restaurants and grocery stores as well as a laundromat. The bed was very comfortable.m!

The room is spacious and clean. Breakfast is standard continental breakfast. The location is very convenient, close to the beach. It's a motel, not fancy, but good enough for one night stay.

I will be back because the room was cleaner than others in town...there were many garbage bags full of trash all over the property at 4 and 10 pm...so no one was planning to pick them up? The front desk guy had the worlds worst b.o. and had a gross room freshener in the lobby to cover his scent but it wasn't working. Luckily the room wasn't stinky at all. There was a hair on the toilet seat and stains on the shower wall from someone dying their hair? Overall, its doable for the price and with no carpeting or scent in the sheets, its good enough for us!
