The motel is right by the beach (10 min walk) so it’s very convenient. Room was a nice size and very clean, especially for the price. Will come back.

This was the perfect getaway, less than a mile to the beach. Affordable. Comfy beds. Nice staff who upgraded us to a downstairs unit as it was difficult for us to climb stairs, which included a free upgrade from double beds to queen beds. Housekeeping staff was very kind and understanding, as we did get a stomach illness during our trip & had to leave the room in a less than desirable condition. All around, would stay here again.

Smallest least comfortable room.

Smallest room ever. One chair, no desk or table. Asked for a second chair. Grudgingly gave us a second very odd uncomfortable chair. No closet! Not one single hook anywhere to hang ANYTHING. inadequate lighting. Fan in bathroom needs replacing. Rattles and bangs. Only 2 paper cups for drinks and coffee. Not enough plugins for phones and chargers. No ice machine. Manager unfriendly. Young lady who checked me in was very pleasant. Room not cleaned between the two days of our stay. Asked for a do not disturb sign thinking they might actually clean the room each day which they did not. Grumpily told they didn’t have any such thing. Only positive was it was a clean room when we arrived.

This is a clean hotel with an excellent a/c which you can control in the room. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would have liked to have a location for my wife to put her makeup on but she made due with a table. The location is awesome as there is a diner, a mexican restaurant, and the beach nearby. We definitely recommend this hotel and will be staying there again.

Staying at an "Inn" with over 9.0 on Expedia seemed like a no-brainer, so I didn't dig deep into what I was getting my family into. When we pulled up, our GPS took us into the parking lot of the liquor store directly next to the motel, where a police car had its lights on and was talking to one person while multiple homeless people sat nearby. We parked near that situation and went into the lobby, which was one small, dingy room. The front desk receptionist was kind and helpful, there's my only positive part of this review. Our room looked okay, but both beds had very sandy sheets and the walls were so thin that even with my white noise blasting, we could hear the neighbors talking (or maybe it was their TV?) through the whole night. I don't want to brag, but I'm really good at sleeping. It takes some NOISE to keep me up. This definitely felt more like a Motel 6 kind of place, and I am convinced that they have padded these positive reviews. There's just NO way this many people thought this motel was an excellent inn.
