"What a perfect location. Steps away from downtown and a couple of minutes walk to the beach. The staff was helpful and friendly, the stay was better than expected for a motel! The pool was out of service the first day/ night we arrived but the staff were on top of maintenance to make sure it was able to be used the next day. The space was all you need, beds, mini fridge, exterior sink & full bathroom. We would definitely stay there again!"
