Well-located motel, about a 10 minute walk to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff. There is a coffee shop next door, which has delicious pastries and a variety of coffees, teas, and other beverages. Our room was lovely: comfortable and clean, with comfortable beds. There are a number of restaurants on Main Street that are within walking distance of the motel as well. We would recommend this motel and would definitely stay here again.

The location of it was perfect! Only 3/4 blocks away from the beach walking distance. They also offered things for the beach as well which is a plus! Our room was clean and luckily we were able to get early check in as well so that was a plus! I’d stay here again for the location and price! Definitely recommend :)
