Room is very basic, and very small, but I like the fact that it’s got no smelly carpet! Room is clean and desk persons were nice enough, when they are there. There is a number posted at the office to call after hours, but that goes to a machine and they will call you back when they open the office again, so hopefully it’s not important. If you let the shower run long enough, the water does eventually get luke warm.

Good stay at the motel for a nite and staff did a good job.

Room was OK, but the property needs to be updated. The rugs in the room are dated and stained. Shower had plenty of pressure but the shower head was all clogged and desperately needed to be replaced. Good property for single guy or young adult on a budget. Your wife will definitely not like it there. I was there on the off season so it probably improves when they have more staff and customers. I would give it another chance if I went down again.

If you’re not concerned with Francy and just want to be a beach bum, this place is fine. The price is one of the lowest at this beach but takes about 10 minutes to walk to the ocean. It’s got a view of the bay across the street though.
