10/10 Exceptional

The updates to the room and bathroom are excellent. Great bed! Wonderful to have a full sized fridge. Super friendly staff members. Our only suggestion is to have better light-blocking on both windows.
Douglas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It exceeded our expectations for the price. Every thing was clean and comfortable, and included all of the amenities. The only thing lacking was a full service breakfast.

We had a wonderful time at this cute little motel. Walking distance to downtown and beach. The staff was very friendly and the owner was also on the property and very friendly. I would book again.
This place screams welcome!

Everyone was so nice!
Rodd, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a “Mom and Pop” hotel that has been updated and refurbished. When you arrive, it still has the appeal of an older hotel. Do not let that fool you. The rooms have been updated. It still has a few amenities that are revenant to older hotels but modernized. We loved it and the office staff were very welcoming and friendly.
Angela, 2-night trip

Not what you think when you see motel

For a motel this place was really nice. Clean good size rooms and excellent service and front desk area. They had pop ice and snacks you could get for the room.

Good location. Our room had spiders in it & smelled like cat pee. The staffs solution was to give us fabreze. We definitely won’t be back.

Annoying late night smokers!

The room was great, bed was really comfortable. Did not have any breakfast. We had our dog with us, the dog area was next to a picnic table that was occupied by smokers the entire time we stayed who were there every day, night until 2-3 am, very annoying. They were very loud, not sure if they were patrons or worked at the motel. You would not have been able to utilize the picnic area, I suggest moving the smoking area to the far end of the motel, so patrons could sit and enjoy the picnic area
