Check in was complicated as desk clerk spoke broken English. He was unable to answer questions. “Come back in the morning” was standard response. Basic stripped down, no frills motel. Stayed three nights and maid service never once cleaned up the room. Office door locked at 10:00 a.m. when we checked out. Bed was very comfortable. Clean room.

It was cleaner than some of the other places we stayed at. I liked that it had a small kitchen area, fridge and microwave and is close to the beach. The room was very small and outdated, clean but not emaculate. The beds were ok, I've slept on worse. I would consider staying again.

The property was okay. Staff were very nice. The place was clean. Beds were ok. The bathroom was a REALLY tight fit. The small pool was clean and nice. Definitely not worth $325 a night but it’s Seaside in the height of summer. Better than most Seaside dumps.
