Hidden gem! Quiet, clean, rooms are very spacious and all open to the beachfront, great outdoor lounging at your backdoor, we had a very pleasurable experience!
This was a old 3 story motel, with a luggage elevator. I loved this place the minute I got in my room. I was right on the beach, it's old in a reto way. I would stay here again. The view from the third floor rooms was breath taking. Stay if you can.
beautiful view, everything you need for a sandy ocean side vacation: good ac, comfortable clean room, pools, outdoor showers, access to the beach 10 feet from my door. Thank you, genuinely.
I love how close it is to the beach and how every room has an ocean side. Sometimes you can hear street noise from the main drag in our room, however to be fair there was a car show in the park two blocks away. Really love staying here.
This property was exactly what we were looking for. It’s very nice. I mean it’s not up to date with all the newest stuff, but everything worked and we were right in the beach. Pool was open all the time and there were 2 pools.

Very easy check in! Polite staff. Clean rooms and although I didnt get in the pools they looked clean and inviting. Overall a wonderful stay.
It was a nice location on the beach. We went for a car show and it was a perfect location. Nothing fancy but solid place to stay for a night or two. Friendly staff!
Bathroom was clean view was amazing. Nice pools and indoor pool/hot tub- all were clean. Floors were dirty in room and someone else’s ice cream in our freezer. Staff was friendly. Would stay here again.
I loved the location. I thought the room was clean and bright. We could have used somewhere to hang towels, hooks or racks. Also a table lamp or some kind of lower level lighting would be nice. The lights were very bright which is ok for sometime, but not all the time. We also had a little trouble parking. Could use a couple more spaces or limit guests to 1 car/room. I could tell a lot have work has been done to the hotel and it was generally very nice.
It was a great stay!!! We were there for only a night but it was great… definitely right on the beach, we didn’t get to enjoy the pool but it looked super nice.
Very nice older hotel that is in the process of being up dated. They are doing a great job. Great view from 3rd floor rooms. Beds are very comfortable and rooms a quiet.
