The room and bathroom were so adorable and very clean! I oftentimes have anxiety about staying somewhere out of fear it will not be clean, but this place exceeded my expectations. It had a cute and functional coffee machine which was so nice. I am for sure coming back one day!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
If your looking for a comfortable bed and fairly clean but updated room this is the place for you. Otherwise, floors were dirty (sandy) and housekeeping left a dirty towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. (Gross) Pool didn't even have water in it so was not open even though website and Expedia says it is. I would be hard pressed to stay here again.

Fantastic, nostalgic motel style property just a hop, skip, or jump from the beach and beautiful sunset views. Recently remodeled, with a very slick retro look & feel. Super clean, very responsive staff, simple self check-in/out process - all with a very reasonable rate. Can't speak highly enough. For those like me who dont want to pay for a bunch of extras I never want, need, or use, this place is for you.
