"This was a clean, well maintained motel! We had everything we needed. The location was great because we could walk to the beach and cafes but also close to transportation. Carol did a great job accommodating a late check in. She was very welcoming and professional. She does a great job running this hotel! Thank you"
"I actually stayed at this property every 8 to 12 weeks. The restaurant is very basic. The staff is okay. The room was fine the amenities fine bit noisy over the water just across from the pool. But it was lovely. It’s central and it’s not too badly priced."
