Nice stay

Just an over night stay but the beds were comfortable, the room is simple but it was clean and cute, the staff was friendly and helpful. We borrowed the bikes and went on a bike ride before we checked out. There are nice bike paths and the ocean is a few minutes away. We just got drinks at the cafe but they were good the staff in the cafe was friendly. I would stay there again..

I have stayed here multiple times already and it’s always clean. I would recommend having hand soap so I don’t have to go to the bathroom to use the body soap that is supplied while washing my hands.

This was a quaint motel. It was not very close to things. Something in the room caused me to be up all night with allergic reactions. We checked out first thing the second morning. The breakfast was good ( you pay extra for it)
