"1950’s cherry of a stay"

10.0

This is a great mom and pop motel. You can tell they take great care of the place. Rooms are really clean, well furnished, cozy. Large fridge and microwave which is great when you have food allergies. (And the chocolate was allergy friendly which was a HUGE treat for me!) Comfy bed, bath products, coffee, charging for electronics were provided. Furnishings are top notch. Plenty of hot water. One of the best showers I have taken on a trip. Easy check in and out, owners are friendly and helpful and easily reached. Is it walkable to all the things? Some street noise but with the ac and my fan app we were fine. Well we did a lot of walking around the beach park and downtown so not for us. Otherwise, maybe. Plenty of parking wherever you go though. Would definitely come back!

"Great place for cool cats"

10.0

This is a fabulously remodeled mom and pop motel. Very clean, great attention to detail and comfort in the rooms. Coffee, mugs, microwave,bath products, a nice sized fridge. Place to charge electronics by bed. On a personal note, having food allergies it was a real treat to be able to eat the chocolate! Thank you!!! Nice owners, very helpful and easy to reach, offered us water when arriving and leaving. You can tell they care about the place. It is walkable to the beach park and downtown, but we did so much walking in the town area it would have to much not to drive. Easy parking everywhere at least when we were there.

"Retro Motel that welcomes doggies."

10.0

Retro done right. The atmosphere here feels like a step back in time. It is all done tastefully though, not going too far. This is a classic motel with the doors to the rooms leading directly outside. The rooms are not large and are a little awkwardly shaped, making tv placement a little weird. However everything was very clean. The room I booked had 2 beds a small dinner table with 2 chairs. A refrigerator and coffee maker, along with a medium sized TV and 1 bedside table. The bathroom was also kinda small, but it did have a walk in shower with a shower head high enough for tall people. My only real issues was there is almost no storage. No dresser andbonly a small hanging rack. Also the lighting is a little dim. The plus are the beds are very comfy. It's Individually own, not a corporate monster. It's dog friendly. Plus the location is great. The service was super friendly. I've never checked in via text message before, but it worked. Overall my stay was wonderful! I give it a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely, and my doggie agrees. It hard to find a nice place to stay that's dog friendly and fairly priced.
