It was beautiful to wake up at the beach location every day. We had a longer stay so the staff gave us a balcony to see the sunrise each morning. We also brought our dog and were thankful the hotel accommodated that. We highly recommend this hotel.

Great motel located across from the beach
Great location!!! Room was very spacious and had a full kitchen. The motel is quite old and run down and could use a refresh but the location and size of rooms you can’t beat. It’s dog friendly also.

Overall, the hotel was nice. Office staff was courteous and efficient. However, we stayed on the first floor and we had neighbors in the next room. We could hear their conversation and the television. We could hear the people upstairs walking around. It was a problem for us hearing our neighbors.

A very funky property. Rooms were probably at least 50 years old. Was very clean, but had a very old kitchen that was difficult to cook in. Had the microwave on top of a very large refrigerator. You had to be at least six feet tall to use it. Very limited cookware. Shower didn’t work, but they quickly fixed it. WIFI didn’t work after first day. They said they were working on it. Location was perfect. Short walk to East Beach. Staff were very receptive and kind.
