It’s a family owned hotel/motel not too far from the ocean and the downtown. It has a lovely hot tub (and a pool my family didn’t use). We’ve been going here for years because they are friendly and pet-friendly. They accept my service dog.
Excellent basic hotel at a reasonable price. We particularly appreciated having real glasses and mugs in the room as opposed to the usual plastic ones. Comfortable bed, and clean room.

This was a last minute reservation, so I was grateful that my daugther-in-law was able to get a room, but there was no parking available in the hotel's lot.
The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Good little spot to staff for a weekend trip. Location is within reasonable walking distant to good and the boardwalk.
It was clean, it’s what we needed after long day driving down the coast. The price was right.
I forgot my pillow and they were helpful so I got back. Thanks u.
Staff was friendly, from checking in , to housekeeping! This property went above and beyond to accommodate my family and i closer to the pool. thank you for welcoming experience!
I wasn't sure if the location would be loud as it's right off Hwy 1. They gave me a room on the backside and I shared my concern. The room was very clean, all was well maintain. Bathroom was very clean too. The bed was good and the price was great. I was quite happy. Thank you.

The location was perfect and a walking distance from everything. The hotel was cleaner than expected also
I stay at this property once a week for work, and I refuse to stay anywhere else. They have consistent clean beds and rooms. No complaints here.

Standard room and bathroom.
It did have a bathtub which has become rare.
Staff was pleasant and helpful.
Traffic noise and smoke from other guests was inescapable.
