Liked: Cleanliness
This is a dated motel. The room was clean but quite basic. Parking was full, so the lady at check in went to move her vehicle so we had a spot to park. It is a good location, you can walk to the water/beach and many restaurants. My children enjoyed the pool but it was small and basic as well. I feel like it was a bit overpriced for what it was. I guess paying for location.
