For me, this is the ideal location: Near the natural beauty of State Parks, safe, quiet, five minute walk to the beach with free beach access; free parking in lot. Pool if needed, 5 min walk to coffee/acai bowl shop. Our Harvest Restaurant was a delightful upscale surprise...easy walk over. Other restaurants nearby. Nightlife and boardwalks if you like, within a 20 minute drive at Ocean City, MD or Dewey/Rehoboth, DE. I like being away from traffic and congestion and partying crowds.
We stayed W-F and could definitely see the increase in crowds and traffic as people came down Friday. We shared the beach with only like 15 people max on weekdays.
Older-style motel, but clearly updated. Bright colors, fresh paint, lovely flowers. Very clean, smells nice -- not like the damp, musty budget motels with ancient a/c and gross carpet. Spacious room and balcony. Tile in room, comfy bed. Fridge and microwave is handy. Friendly staff, solid no-frills coffee in the lobby.
Cons: no elevator, if that matters to you. Third floor was two flights of stairs, no big deal. Would have been a pain in the rain.
Bathroom is smallish if you're a larger person. Sink on the outside is best, IMHO, as they have it set up.
This is not a luxury experience, if you want Holiday Inn or better, don't stay in a motel. If you want a clean, safe spot for a quick beach-focused getaway, then this is an easy choice.
Pro/Con: pets allowed on the bottom floor. Didn't seem to be in a issue.
