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.

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.

Kind of costly for the quality but it was clean and the staff were very nice. It is a great location to walk to area and go to the beach. Room had a funky smell but wasn't terrible for a one night stay.

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.

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.

I was here overnight for work, and while it wasn't the best or newest/most updated place I've ever stayed, it was clean and served it's purpose. Walls are pretty thin and it was difficult to sleep as someone next to me had the television or radio on all night and it could be heard through the walls.

Comfortable accommodations and a 5 minute walk to the beach. However, the tub had NO shower curtain. And the "Grab-N-Go breakfast"? Well, the door was locked at 7:35am when I went to check it out and peeking in the window showed me there was nothing available! Glad I had some snacks with me. Appropriately priced.
