"We recommend staying here for the great location and reasonable pricing."

9.0

Great walkable location, cleanliness, and very helpful staff.

Our friends had to drive a separate car. Since there is only one parking spot per room, we had to pay to park on the street which cost about $32/day. The bed was comfortable but the pillows are too tall/high for anyone. The room had a musty odor that we only smelled when we first walked in but now that we are home, our clothing smells like the room.

8.0

A great location for this beachy vibe motel. A couple things I would suggest to the property manager would be to offer a coffee cart each morning, add an additional chair and bedside table to the room and finally, I would suggest that the room be serviced automatically if you’re there for 4 nights…we didn’t get our room serviced our entire time. Beyond those minor things, it was a quirky, clean, convenient motel that has 95% of the components needed for a top-notch beach motel.
