Stayed 1 night with my teen kid. Whole wing was nice and quiet, spacious room. All cutlery etc. Beach across the road. Other guests - colorful peeps from different walks of life - not many, decent and friendly. Its dog friendly too, which is always a bonus if you life brief hangout with someone else's pet:-)). Overal, exceeded my expectations.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
For the most part this was a typical older Hwy Motel. The room was basic but relatively clean and comfortable. The lady at check in was nice and the staff and food from the restaurant were lovely. There were some downsides. The smaller ones: a microwave, but no crockery or cutlery; 2 bath towels but no bath mat or had towels; minimal pillows or bedding in general. The biggest downside, was that there were giant cockroaches (bigger than my thumb) that you could see & hear walking around. I was also getting bitten by some sort of small insect in the room.
