What a wonderful gem. We have stayed here several times and the rooms are always clean. Staff is always friendly and you can’t beat the location for the price compared to other hotels around that area. You can’t beat the deal.

A block from the beach. Clean rooms. The place itself was good. Only issue, and it’s just the design of motels, is the car lights and car door slamming at all times of night as people are leaving and arriving.
