Very easy to check in. The bed was comfortable. It had way more then what we needed for our stay. It had a fridge, micorwave and stove and cookware. For the price it was well worth it. We will remember this place when we want to come back again.

Cute "roadside" motel. Had a small kitchenette, outside seating and a nice pool. Rooms could use some updating, but it was clean and the staff was very nice.

It is a very nice hotel that is walking distance from the beach (about two blocks away). The beach area nearby is also very nice. I prefer it to the beach by the boardwalk as it is quieter. It is also walking distance from many restaurants, and the staff are very nice. I had a great stay and want to come back!
