Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lady at front desk was delightful. Room was super clean, although a little noisy being right beside the road. There was a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker with lots of coffee pods, sugar, and creamer (some places are stingy with these supplies). The heating/cooling unit and the TV were straightforward and simple to use. Price was very reasonable as well.

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!
