Our room was so comfortable and the sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep at night because we left the sliding glass door open to our balcony every night. We like that quiet time started at 8:30pm and everyone staying there respected that.

Nice room with view of beach, very good staff and manager was very accommodating!- would highly recommend for beach trip

You can't put a price on convenience. Easy 5 minute walk to moonlight beach. Appreciated that you can borrow beach supplies like chairs and Boogie boards. Staff extremely friendly and informative. I left a message prior to trip and they returned my call on same day. The A/C is outdated but having a fridge, microwave, sink, and dishwasher was fantastic. We were hesitant about finding parking for 3 nights since they don't charge. However every day we found parking right in front of our room. Definitely would stay in their family room that had 3 beds and 2 separate rooms !

The room was big, beds were comfortable, area around was noisy and some amenities needed fixing overall a great stay would definitely come back

Good location, close to the beach. We did not need to look for a beach parking, which looked very crowded, because we just walked there from the hotel. It has ammenities of a motel (hence it's name), but pricey because of the priximity to the beach.

A room with a view
This is the second time I’ve been to this place and they really are a nice quaint quiet place! I love having the view of the ocean, even if it is a little bit of a distance. I only wish the office was open a little bit longer. The people in the office are very friendly and nice

Disappointed
The remote to the television didn’t work. Went to office and asked that someone fix it and also called and left message. It was finally fixed two days later. Cheap 1/4 roll of toilet paper was provided. Called office to request some, meanwhile had to purchase some…two days later they delivered some. Train tracks near by, so be prepared for the noise of a passing train often. Keep in mind that there are steps to second floor should you have a heavy load or a physical challenge.

A perfect getaway spot
I came here to work on a writing project. Tee staff was wonderfully helpful throughout my 1 week stay. My room was comfortable, and it was immaculate when I checked in. I will definitely come back, the next time for a wonderful vacation stay 1 block form the beach!

After a week’s stay we learned that that rate wasn’t applicable because we’d booked through a “third party”.
We asked to have a cleaning every 2 days, but it only happened once. Coffee supplies were had to be requested every day, but often didn’t appear.
Great location, easy access, nice room , but never again .
