The motel was great for what it was. You know you aren't paying for a 4 Star hotel, so you can't expect that level. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, there was a pool and plenty of parking. That was all I needed and expected!

Great service

I will by no means call this a five star resort, however the staffs attentiveness and personality was excellent and for the price it was above expectations. I would suggest this for a 4 member family on a budget or a couple just looking for a place to lay their heads.

We only spent one night as we were in town for a wedding. Our room was very neat and clean. The decor was beachy cute. The staff was excellent. We were greeted by a very friendly front desk. Clothing items were left in the room after check out and the front desk called us and held the items. Overall great experience! Wish we had more time to spend there and hope to return again.

It is a very nice hotel that is walking distance from the beach (about two blocks away). The beach area nearby is also very nice. I prefer it to the beach by the boardwalk as it is quieter. It is also walking distance from many restaurants, and the staff are very nice. I had a great stay and want to come back!

It was perfect for an extra day at the beach. Close to the beach, has a pool, competitively priced, mini kitchen with a full size refrigerator, friendly staff, close to restaurants and convenience stores. We stayed as an extra day add on to a mini vacation, and it was just what we needed.
