Basic but clean, simple budget motel style property right across street from beach by a block. If you don’t plan in staying in your room and just need a basic clean room to crash this place works great.

This is a quaint “throwback” motel which is cute and close to a lovely walk around the beach and has access to street parking. It is also close to many good restaurants. I would stay here again.

We loved it here, just next time we would stay on the top floor. Downstairs hears every footstep of the people upstairs. Our upstairs neighbors were like a herd of elephants keeping us awake between 2:30 am and 4 am. The place is lovely and the staff are wonderful and super kind. The rooms are definitely not sound proof
