Waited over 15 minutes for the person at the front desk to finish a phone call before being helped. Rooms are newly renovated, the bed is comfortable and place is clean and relatively quiet overall. The best part of this motel is the restaurant attached, Ryan’s Pub. Excellent food and service.

The staff were all super friendly. The room was nice and clean, updated recently. The bathroom and shower were fantastic, the view on the oceanside was lovely. The beds were HARD as a rock, not comfortable at all. Breakfast was so so, typical cereal, yogurt, waffles. The breakfast needs set up better, they had sausage on a different counter from all the other food, I don't think anyone noticed it.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very kind and helpful. That's about where it ends. The property is dated on exterior. The rooms are ok, but the bathroom is just a hair bigger than an airplane bathroom and with no vent the moisture from a hot shower makes everything soaking wet. Stayed over summer so humidity is expected, but the moisture in the room makes the floor and furniture have a dampness to it. Had to be careful not to slip The outlet for coffeemaker didn't work and a hot shower made the fire alarm go off. Not an ideal stay.

Property is affordable and very nice. It is older but a lot of upgrades have been and are still being done. Tina at the reception desk was very pleasant and informative. Great customer service! The only reason I took off 1 star was the bathtub was not the best. Other than that it was great!
