Although this is an older property, it is well maintained. It is right on the beach very near Johnny Mercers pier. Parking is under the building so very closeby.

Great motel with tight parking garage.

We had a great stay and will definitely return. We luckily didn't have a problem with parking, because the motel was not at full capacity, but it is extremely tight quarters to park onsite, so I would not bring a large vehicle there.

Great overall stay

It was a beautiful view. Right on the beach. Lots of space in the room. Loved that we had a full size fridge and a small stove. Comes with dishes, paper towels, cleaning supplors, extra blankets and towels. The only thing i could complain about is the bed and pillows where super hard. Perfect if you like hard bedding, but not for our family. Other that everything is perfect. Also, there is a pier directly beside the hotel.

Its a motel on the beach - location can not be beat. Each room has a full size fridge and are fairly spacious. Yes, the rooms are old and dated but did I mention, IT IS ON THE BEACH! You won't be disappointed.
