Don’t underrate this motel. I enjoy the service and the amenities are enough to do just about whatever you need. Downstairs provide plenty of space for sleeping and AC units in the rooms are perfect for the cold sleepers.
Upstairs is spacious and worth the family stay with enough separation to enjoy a few days while yall explore the beach. I’ll keep coming
Great place for the price. Really nice and super close to the beach. You can just walk to the beach. Great restaurants near by within 5 minutes as well.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and the manger was friendly. My first night was very cold as the whole building is on one heater with no individual control (though the room did have a separate ac unit). I spoke with the manager on my second day and he gave me a space heater to use that night.
