The room was very clean. The staff was friendly and polite. The air conditioner was awesome it worked very well. Parking was easy to get in and out of. Super close to the beach about two blocks away maybe two and a half blocks. There's the deli next door and they make good breakfast burritos or just regular burritos if you want.

Joshua at the front desk was very friendly and very helpful. Your hotel needs some updating and better cleaning. First of all, the shower had hardly any water pressure. The shower containers with shampoo, body wash and conditioner were/are broken. I had sand in my bed sheets, making me think they had not been changed. The facility had hardly any amenities. No paper to write notes to staff. The blankets and bedding really are not the best. But for the two nights we were there, I persevered. The best thing for us was the location to the beach and the campsite where our friends were staying. Parking was very convenient.

I like the fact I can walk to the beach direct from the hotel and there are two small food stands on the way. It is a very basic motel. Very few amenities in the room or on the property. Staff is friendly and very quickly corrected some issues I had with noise and my door not locking. You will hear everything. You can hear the TV next door, conversations, snoring, etc. If you're ok with that, I would recommend this motel.

This was perfect. We were up for a grandchilds graduation and we just needed a place to retire to for the 2 nights and it was clean and close to a convenience store, restaurant and our sons house. Plus the beach is right around the corner, as is the great diner where we had breakfast. Microwave and refrigerator, smart tv, WiFi etc. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We’ll be back.
