Our room was great! We loved having a little kitchenette! The beach was super easy to get to and the hotel staff was very nice and helpful with beach towels and boogie boards! This is definitely an older motel, but our room was clean and we couldn’t beat the price. We loved that there were coffee shops and a grocery store nearby as well.
