I had a positive overall experience during our stay at this motel, which is conveniently located near the beach in a popular tourist city. However, I felt disappointed that there was no self-service laundry facility on-site, and the nearest laundromat in the city was not within walking distance. I believe adding a self-service laundry facility would greatly enhance guest convenience and satisfaction, especially for those staying multiple nights.

Would come back again.

Great location , spacious room. Bathroom quite small. No space to put toiletries. Decent kitchen area , although we didn’t use. Pool area nice , but small for this size hotel. A reserved handicap space was accommodated, which was great. I didn’t use housekeeping in my 3 night stay but they were accessible if you needed anything. As for cleanliness the bathroom floor/ corners could be cleaner. Overall i would stay again as you are steps away from the beach.
