Excellent check in and check out experiences. The room was so clean and large, with the large sitting room in addition to the bedroom, and the extra sink in the bedroom, plus the terrace with two rocking chairs facing the ocean. The breakfast experience was better than expected. The motel is in an excellent location, with the ocean right across the street. It is also very close to the restrooms on the beach and the convention center. Also an easy walk to Washington Street Mall area for restaurants. Would happily stay again.

Lovely beach hotel with great views. Easy walking to Washington Street shopping area and grocery store (a few blocks). Staff were very friendly. Notes: no elevator, which they are up front about, and the office is closed until 8am. We stayed during off-season, which may affect hours.

I hate to give this hotel a great review because then I'll never be able to get in! I love it here. The location is ideal. The staff couldn't be nicer. And it's just a great place to stay. I wish hotel rooms had more hooks, though.
