If you're in search of a bargain, this hotel is for you. It is reasonably priced, clean, and in a good location, especially for beach-goers. It is no-frills though, so if you're looking for extra amenities then you should go elsewhere.

Exactly what I wanted - simple and clean plus ocean front. Its no frills, but the ocean view and price (plus very clean) more than makes up for that. On site parking was easy.

The motel is in a decent location but it is in terrible shape. The pool is dirty and tiny. Parking is awful. The room is gross and everything is broken. I paid $800 for 2 nights and it was 100% NOT worth the $. Stay anywhere else but here!!!
