Love the property. Clean and new, up to date decoration and facility. The room comes with a balcony which is nice, though not much view to see. Location wise, it is okay, there are dinings and some shops nearby but not many.

In the perfect location in the heart of Bird Rock the motel is a kind of throw back you don't see much of anymore. I appreciated receiving personalized texts prior to and confirming my arrival and the front desk receptionist was very friendly upon checking in.
