good value
not quite the valet scene like a block over, but it was clean, near the beach, had a view, and bikes were for rent out front. Rooms were pretty similar to the pictures and it was a good value stay for the area.

This is a very basic motel. Rooms are clean but very small, and there are no amenities to speak of. I had to wait a half hour to check in because there was a single person on duty, and they had stepped out for a break.

It gets the job done giving you a place to sleep. The rooms are small for the price you’re paying. It’s more a motel than hotel. And the bathroom sink had a horrible sewage smell coming from it.
