I come up every year for my son’s baseball tourney and it’s a perfect location to the field and the beach. It’s small and quant and serves its purpose. Best price around.

The rooms were clean. Parking lot is small and when they are booked they ask motorcycles to share spots, which concerns me if we were to travel with cars instead. Overall, a decent place to rest your head.

When traveling by cycle, we like to stay in motels so we can park our bike right outside our room. This motel was not fancy, but the room was large, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. The continental breakfast was minimal, but enough to hold us until lunch.

Our room and bed were comfortable. The motel location is great. It's close to the beach, in the downtown business area, close to good restaurants and very close to The House of Flavors! Also, the price was right.

The room and bathroom was very clean. However Expedia said there was free breakfast, there was no breakfast. In fact the office door was locked until at least 7:00 am when we left.

It was like a retro 70’s motel. The furniture was really old probably bought at rummage sales. Bathroom door sticks to the floor when closing. But for a 1 nighter for just me it served its purpose.

Very affordable motel essentially right in downtown within walking distance to everything. Clean room, good staff. Complementary breakfast does not run during the non-summer off-season, but all the other amenities and professionalism make it worth it at its good good price. Plus, you'll want to just walk downtown for a coffee or a muffin. Would recommend and would happily stay here again.

This property is older but it was clean. When I booked I was told there was free breakfast but when I got there, they said they only do it in the summer.
