Great stay, great location!
Denlin, 1-night trip

Great little place to stay!
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay. Cute beachy motel. Located within a safe area. Very clean. Quiet. Parking was available but limited. Check in was easy via a keypad. If we did have our baby with us, a pack n play probably wouldn’t have fit in the room- heads up to other parents with young ones. Would recommend this place to others.

Not a luxury motel, but serviceable. Would stay there again.
