Wells Moody
We had a nice stay. The rooms were kept up well and very comfortable. The beach was about a half a mile down the road from the motel, and very easy to walk to. The front desk was helpful, too

Tidy and well-kept simple motel
Humble but very well kept. A perfect place for a low(er) cost stay in this expensive area. Plenty of parking and allowed me to leave my vehicle after checkout.

Returning Guests
This is a return visit for us as we are always happy with the accommodations. My spouse and I agree that the mattresses are the most comfortable of anywhere we have stayed. The owners are welcoming and make staying here a pleasure. The location is close to the beach, plenty of restaurants and shopping on Rt1.

Very much of value
The check-in process was very efficient and the owner/manager could not have been more friendly and kind. The wrong was very nearby. The front office, it was clean, well furnished, and had both TV and air conditioning remote controls. The bathroom was fully stocked in immaculate clean. Check out with even easier. This was an exceptional value for this wonderful location and stay.
