What a wonderful gem. We have stayed here several times and the rooms are always clean. Staff is always friendly and you can’t beat the location for the price compared to other hotels around that area. You can’t beat the deal.

A block from the beach. Clean rooms. The place itself was good. Only issue, and it’s just the design of motels, is the car lights and car door slamming at all times of night as people are leaving and arriving.

The new renovations to the room is great ! Such a cute retro style decor, clean, comfortable bed, and spacious shower. The only suggestion I would give is that they need to add a sheer curtain to the inside of the blackout curtain so you can’t see clearly / directly into the room when walking by outside and the blackout curtain is pulled back. I would definitely stay here again.
