The room was very clean and great location to the pier. Walking distance to restaurants and stores. For an older motel seems to be very well maintained. Parking was very tight. Definitely recommend!

The staff wasn't very helpful, but this place is really clean and cozy for couples or families. Just keep in mind that the kitchen supplies are limited, so bring your own supplies if you plan on cooking.

Great location, Don’t book if you have trouble climbing stairs. Light in room inop. TV was impossible to understand. Smoking area too close to building. Overall not a bad stay. Right next to beach, pier, restaurants.

Perfect location on the beach. Room was clean but did have a musty smell. We had a oceanfront room ... but it was on the ground floor so view was limited. My only complaint was the lack of curtain to block the light from the hallway. Room stayed light all night. Would stay there again.

Hotel was great, and right on the beach. Loved that it allowed dogs! Only negative was that I couldn’t sit on the balcony to enjoy the ocean view because the room next door was chain smoking and it allowed dogs blew over. Not a fault of the hotel, but definitely made it not as great. Tried enjoying coffee on the balcony…nope
