The motel is certainly very comfortable. Clean room, nicely warm thanks to heaters, nice balcony and comfortable beds. The little kitchen is well equipped. There is no street noise, and it is only one block back from the beach and restaurant/bakery for coffee. The manager was kind enough to let us check in at 8am after a 12 hour flight when we were bedraggled and exhausted. We would certainly consider staying again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location was ideal. The room was dated but fine. It looked like the sheets on the pull out bed had not been changed from last guest and there were a lot of ants. We were also asked to pay a deposit when we arrived, which I wasn't aware of and eventually they let it go but not without having to get upset about it.
