Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was convenient being along the highway yet the noise from the road wasn’t noticeable inside the room. There were lots of walking trails, beaches and shops to check out nearby. The room was comfortable, simple and clean. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and would book this motel again if I’m ever in the area again. Oh and the lady at the front desk was very friendly!
