"The rooms are always very clean and staff is very helpful. It's just a short walk to the beach which is a big plus. We have stayed there for the past 3 years, and it's always been great."

If you’re looking for mid level motel in a great location, this is the place. An older building but well kept and clean. Nice pool and bbq area and 500 steps from the beach. The staff has always been friendly and very accommodating.
