Room was clean and looked just like the pictures. Shower took a while to heat up but once it did, was able to remain hot. Decent water pressure. Towels were a bit scratchy and thin but are adequate. TV is not a smart TV and the bed is old box spring style but I suppose that's to be expected for room rate. Heater was a bit loud but worked fine (didnt use AC). Fridge and microwave also worked fine. Parking lot can get full so keep that in mind depending when you arrive. I was able to find street parking though. . All in all, a decent stay for the price

Your near the beach so there's plenty of dining options nearby. The room was very nice plus I found the bed comfortable. The room even had a 4 burner stove that I didn't use. Sadly, it rained so I glad my room was enjoyable.

The Proprietors and Staff are — without a doubt — incredibly individuals whose priority is to ensure their guests have the best possible experience while visiting. A suggestion, if and when you have the opportunity to become guests at the Scandia Motel, take the time to actually introduce yourselves to the Proprietors, and you’ll not regret it!
