Amazing location and good bang for buck
This place is clean and comfy. Bed is slightly noisy but was comfy. Service is what you’d expect in a small town. Lots to offer here. Would recommend and will stay at again. Has laundry.

Last minute trip
Stayed here with my teen daughter, very last minute. After a long drive it was so great to get to a clean and comfortable room. The beds were cozy and the staff was friendly. Not a bunch of frills. Just clean and comfortable. We'll stay again.

Good for the price and location
This motel suited our needs and desires for being on a tighter budget!
No frills older property but we had a very comfortable bed, a little fireplace and a view of the ocean! The room did smell like dog and we asked for some air freshener but never got any. Check in staff was very friendly.

A Hidden Gem
Did a two day road trip with my fur babies while the wife was in Europe. This place is amazing!! Had an issue with my tv signal upon arrival and the problem was solved right away. The husband and wife team who run the hotel gave me top notch customer service. My room was clean and comfortable with a yard for my babies right outside my door. Will be back soon!

Family vacation!
It was a nice place the only thing is the showers. The shower does not put out much water pressure at all and it’s very hard to wash your hair. If shorter than 6 ft it’s almost impossible.
