I hate to give this hotel a great review because then I'll never be able to get in! I love it here. The location is ideal. The staff couldn't be nicer. And it's just a great place to stay. I wish hotel rooms had more hooks, though.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was great! You could lie in bed and read, raising your eyes to wander over the ocean whenever you liked! The early April weather was a bit brisk, but we still enjoyed the balcony. The motel is in the center of town, with the beach literally across the street and the Washington Street stores just a couple of blocks away.

The hotel is clean, quiet and in an excellent location. When we approached the office from the parking lot with our baggage and an infant in a stroller to check in, the front desk attendant greeted us at the door with keys in hand. If you have ever traveled with a baby and all the baby paraphernalia, you know how helpful such a gesture can be. A rare encounter with a truly thoughtful person is so valuable. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed 2 nights while attending a graduation at the USCG training center. The staff are amazing. I went to them with numerous requests and questions and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. I didn’t even realize they offered a continental breakfast which was a blessing. There are tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.

Parking was available on site. Room was spacious and clean. Within walking distance of the Washington street mall and dining. Beach immediately actoss the street and ocean views are lovely. Private balconies are private to the room, but immediately connected to the next balcony, so not necessarily "private".
