A very good option for the price. Obviously, you are not getting a 5 star hotel, but you are paying a very reasonable price for a place that is clean, spacious, cost to the beach, and with lots of dining options nearby. Staff is friendly and helpful. You will need a long cable for USB charging as this is an older style motel without power outlets near the beds/chairs.

We loved the location so close to the beach. The neighbourhood is pleasant and felt safe. Access to the garden and a small outside area with table and chairs was very pleasant. The motel is clearly from a bygone era – this added some quirky charme, on the other hand despite some modernisations the place is fairly tired and needs a lot of tlc. While the place is mostly clean, there were small ants, and some missed dirt in hard to reach places. The hot water pressure was very low and made for a decisively disappointing shower experience. The friendly and welcoming manager sort of makes up for the shortcomings with her friendliness but there's only so much she can do.
