The hotel was clean, nice quality bedding, good water pressure, remodeled and up to date. On the downside, the description was a bit misleading, absolutely no ocean view or even a view of anything except the guest room of the next door hotel. The staff was friendly but be aware the lobby was closed at unpredictable times like 3 hours in the middle of the day when we wanted beach towels and chairs. Too bad because the building is updated and safe, but cost cutting everywhere else made the stay good but not great or very good.

Great place in a great location! Get a room on the top floor if possible. Otherwise, you’re at the mercy of your upstairs neighbors.

Overall not a bad option for a beach front location. The issue was the added fees for an early check-in, $40 to arrive 2 hours early, even if your room was ready, and confirmation on the date of arrival, not a day or two before. Limited reserved parking of $30/day, while other motels in the area only charge up to $15/day or are included for free.

Simple with a great location!

This place was simple but clean. The location really can’t be beat. There were minor things, like we didn’t love the barn door on the bathroom as it provides no real privacy but we made it work. There are no bells and whistles to this place but it’s a fantastic location to crash and spend the day at the beach with the perk of a very walkable neighborhood.
