We were here off-season, so there was no problem parking at all. It’s a vintage hotel and very charming, as were all of the staff we met. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Kitchen was nicely set up with all of the basics. Will definitely return whenever driving north to visit.

Cute motel

Cute "roadside" motel. Had a small kitchenette, outside seating and a nice pool. Rooms could use some updating, but it was clean and the staff was very nice.

It is a very nice hotel that is walking distance from the beach (about two blocks away). The beach area nearby is also very nice. I prefer it to the beach by the boardwalk as it is quieter. It is also walking distance from many restaurants, and the staff are very nice. I had a great stay and want to come back!

Great place just some constructive criticism

Enjoyed our stay overall. Customer service is top tier. When we entered our room, we were met with a strong mildew smell. We contacted the front desk and were given the opportunity to check out two other available rooms to see if they were good. One had the mildew smell while the other one was good. Staff explained the AC played a role in the smell. I do think the rugs may have been a contributing factor as well. The rooms were all very clean. We do think that carpet cleaning of the rugs could be helpful otherwise the motel is awesome. Great for the price and again staff goes above and beyond.

So much care is taken to keep the property nice. Rooms are a nice size. Shower has great pressure. Only 3 drawers so if you are staying for a week be prepared to live out of your suitcase. Would rather no stove and another dresser personally. But pool is great, rooms are great, a truly wonderful property!

It was perfect for an extra day at the beach. Close to the beach, has a pool, competitively priced, mini kitchen with a full size refrigerator, friendly staff, close to restaurants and convenience stores. We stayed as an extra day add on to a mini vacation, and it was just what we needed.
