Very accommodating, nice employees. Room was big and very clean even had a toothbrush and toothpaste incase you forget yours. Would definitely stay here again!
The inn was very clean and updated! It’s within a block of the beach and there were several options for restaurants around the area. The staff was delightful and helpful. It was a great experience and I plan to go back soon!
room was clean but i should have booked a king size bed.. we did not sleep good because bed is just a queen size.. but over all place was clean and staff were nice
The property was clean and fine just don't expect many amenities. I would recommend booking directly with the motel as they won't work with you on the room if you book third party such as Expedia. We had room #18 which I don't recommend and was told that there was nothing they can do about since I booked with Expedia. Having been a Travel Advisor for the past 10 years I know that's a reason they hide behind not wanting to assist in changing rooms. Not the best customer service but it fit the rest of the experience.
Perfect location, quaint and cozy motel, great staff, great cost, and easy parking. We didn’t bring our dogs but dogs are welcome and there were SO many in this cute little town. We’ll bring them next time.
I’ve had a lovely experience staying at this place. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, there were inly 3 pillows but you can request for more. The only thing that was a downside was the WiFi. It was very slow and difficult to connect to. But I had cell service so it’s not a big deal. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my short stay.

Another great stay.
I love staying here, the owners are so friendly and nice. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the location is perfect.
We really enjoyed the stay. It was not our intended place but we stayed for the first time due to few vacancies around town and we are very happy. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.
We have been staying here for 5 yrs now , the owners are friendly. I love the location, the rooms are clean, great parking. The only thing that needs attention is the towels, they are not white, they are old and grey looking, come on owners replace them. I started bringing my own towels from home. Maybe get new pillows they are flat and you only get 3.

Management personal are constantly watching what you’re doing. It’s a no smoking property yet management smoking outside and the smoke was going right into our room. My room was for up to 6 people, which we had 6 people yet charged an extra $100 for an extra person. Only given 4 towels for 6 people and 1 small garage can in the bathroom. It is close enough to walk to shops, pier and beach.
Only minor complaint is thin walls and guests staying up late. Otherwise, it was well worth the money!

A pillow had hairs on it, the bed smelled like sweat and my wife and I couldn't sleep. I complained to the person at the desk, and the manager appologized, and offered a fifty percent discount next time. We will never staty there again. I hope they get their act together...

The room was dirty and definitely needs paint. Baseboards, doors, shower all super dirty. Would never stay there again. Way over priced and $50 dog fee. Would not recommend this motel. Also the keys cards were demagnetized after 1 day.

A plac to sleep
Very basic room. It served the purpose of a place to sleep, but we really didn't enjoy hanging out there.
