It was hard to park as space very tight. We wanted to swim but a greasy film covered the water. You could hear the people above us talk and noisy when they walked. Not very noise proof. However room was clean and sufficient

Great little motel!

Really friendly and helpful staff, unit was super clean, beds were comfortable. The little pool was great for our kids to blow off some steam after a long travel day. We were able to walk a short distance to get dinner, and it's just a little longer of a walk to get to the beach and an incredible playground. Highly recommend!
