Great location, within walking distance to everything. Straight across from the beach. Older style motel but very clean and comfortable

Economical accommodations and a great location!
We had a brief one-night stay on our way up the coast. Excellent location in town. Nice to fix morning coffee and walk across the street to stroll the wonderful beach. Front staff mate was excellent (Davie?). Very quiet location and convenient to everything we needed!

Staff was lovely, letting us check in early (1pm).
The room was adequate. Have had to get some extra stuff as it wasn’t facilitated for 3 guests to begin with. We’ve left feedback for the staff, won’t get into it as they know what they can improve on.

The location was excellent. The room set out was just what we wanted for 5 Adults. We only had one minor problem was the AC wasn't working but it was one of those things that can be fixed.
