The web site pictures must have been taken 10 years ago. Our first impression made us question whether we should stay or not.The room was very basic and the air conditioning had musty smell. The bed linens and towels were fresh. The very nice lady in the office was the redeeming quality of the stay.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Cute retro room that looks like it was recently updated. Very clean. Love the location one block from a part of the beach that is less crowded but walking distance from the grocery and restaurants.

Very cute renovated motel and amazing location. The sink does need a new faucet as it is oversized for the size of the sink and water spills everywhere.
I love the vibe of the property. It was kind of retro and beachy with the bright colors of the doors and bright yellow pool chairs and umbrellas. The room had everything you needed and we had enough space to spread out our suitcases. The small frig was so cute and served a purpose with our taking up too much room.
The bathroom sink was very small or maybe it was the big faucet that took up so much room. Regardless, it was perfect for our 2 night stay!
Cute, throwback of a motel. Our room was very small, but clean. The sink in the bathroom was tiny, and a little challenging to actually use, but we only stayed one night so it was fine. We tightened the loose toilet seat and unclogged the sink drain. Parking spaces are tight for large vehicles.
Most of the rooms reflect the website however ours dod not. No cool mural just whir walls, however staff super friendly. Overall great experience

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The bathroom was a little rough. Shower curtain rod was not attached and the faucet handle was falling out of the wall. Other than that it was amazing and the one minute walk to the beach made up for all of that for me. The front desk staff was beyond attentive. I would definitely book this hotel again!
Quiet, cute animations.
When the cleaning crew comes there’s messes everywhere … it could be more organized. The rooms were cute, A/C is in the back room only, so if you need to have privacy the front room will not be very comfortable in the summer heat.
Overall enjoyable
