Overall the property was nice. The lady at the front did not speak English so she had to call someone to translate. Not a big deal. They were very nice. The beds were a bit worn and there was no shower curtain on the shower. There also was no fan in the bathroom so it could get very steamy.

The property is nicely located with restaurants and a supermarket close at hand. The Beach is just a few minutes away. The motel is fairly basic. No regular toilet paper, just tissues. I ate at Jimmy's Rib Shack a few times. The ribs are very good.
