Staff & location were wonderful! I would have rated higher but we had to change rooms because shower knobs were old and unable to turn due to overcaulking. A very old building that needs a little more refurbishing. Also toilets should be replaced, and consistant, one was so low in one room, the other room was more than doubled in height, I would also suggest grab bars in the bathrooms along with bath mat for safety. Had to put a towel down on bath because it was so slippery. Very dangerous! A few more amenities and newer towels would help.

Liked the social setting promoted by the lobby and adjoining dining area. Might sound insignificant, but I enjoyed the ample parking... Breakfast was good and plenty, but I think a waffle maker would be the icing on the cake.

Nice property that is right across from the beach. Breakfast selection was really good. Price was high, but so were other properties in the neighborhood. The fact that it was Labor Day weekend probably contributed to this excessive for a motel price.
