Very friendly and helpful staff. Cute retro room that looks like it was recently updated. Very clean. Love the location one block from a part of the beach that is less crowded but walking distance from the grocery and restaurants.

Very cute renovated motel and amazing location. The sink does need a new faucet as it is oversized for the size of the sink and water spills everywhere.

Cute and clean
Cute, throwback of a motel. Our room was very small, but clean. The sink in the bathroom was tiny, and a little challenging to actually use, but we only stayed one night so it was fine. We tightened the loose toilet seat and unclogged the sink drain. Parking spaces are tight for large vehicles.
