The motel is older and the staff have done a great job to maintain it. The location is amazing right across from the beach. That’s what sold us! We got a free upgrade without asking and the staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend for a summer destination

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Carmello was awesome checking us in. Location was perfect. Pool was not heated, very cold. Room was what you would expect for the price. Nice to have options (different hotels with different price points).

I think they need to sweep the patio on the upstairs close to the door so sand doesn’t keep getting into the room. Also, there’s a lot of cobwebs. Otherwise, the rooms are clean. The staff are great.

For the most part it was a quiet motel. Unfortunately there is always that one guest that doesn't care, not the Motels fault. The bed was a little hard for my back, but that's about the only thing I had trouble with. Nice place, good people.
