I loved the ocean view from our room. Parking was very convenient in front of the room. This motel is located away from the Main Street so it’s very quiet except for the ocean and birds.

View was great even on ground floor. Loved that the 2 beds were in separate areas of the room. Unit is older than expected but very comfortable. Only down was no dessert/cereal bowls. Travelled during fires so was pleased Hostess stayed in contact with us before we arrived re situation.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was dated and in desperate need of renovation. The bathroom ceiling was mildews, with rotten water damaged plaster and even a few daddy long leg spiders in residence. The toilet leaked and a big puddle developed behind it. The view was lovely as long as you stood outside on the poorly maintained verandah or sat inside directly infront of the window. The shower water was hot providing you didn't turn on the cold tap...the bed was extremely comfortable and thats the only reason why it gets 3 stars. Disappointing and probably wouldn't stay there again..

If I could rate it less than 1 star I would. The hotel was dirty, falling apart and had bugs, roaches to be clear. We took pictures. Very disappointing!
