This motel was in an unsafe area of town. There were homeless people relieving themselves on the streets, and gun shot sounds in the night. Upon checking in I complained about a strong unpleasant smell in the room. The night manager said "respectfully it is your stuff". I believe it was coming from the window air conditionining unit which made it impossible for me to use the air. Additionally, there were food crumbs and nut shells in the bed. I thought they might be bed bugs but found it appeared either the sheets had not been changed or were improperly washed. Low cost but not work the hygene and physical risk.

What a delightful place to stay! Were there for 2 nights with my husband and 12yo son; Great location in relation to the beach, restaurants, drug stores, coffee and breakfast spots - all in walking distance. Kim was AMAZING - so kind! Our room was a great size, beds were SO COMFORTABLE - so many pillows!! I just can't gush enough how much we loved this spot. Endless thanks!!

Quaint Motel near beach

Liked the hotel & location was great, really close to the beach. The shower/bathroom is my only complaint. Extremely narrow about 2ft wide. Hard for me to bend but not a concern for young folks.
