Do not stay in basement cottage 121. The stairway is littered & filthy, the handrail too low, and the rainwater/sand pools up by the door with nowhere to drain. I had to sweep it all out myself. Good thing it wasn't raining. It's like the room where they would send their least favorite stepchild.
Very uncomfortable furniture, seats only three. No coffee table or reading lamps, room layout very awkward. I'm a short person, and the beds were way too high. Not enough blankets or pillows, brrr. The only way to heat the apartment was the electric fireplace in the living room, so we had to leave the bedroom door open.. Glad I brought a little space heater for the bathroom. Not enough utensils or plates. No way to step out onto the patio. I'm sure the other cabins were better than this one (each one is a little different).
I really did appreciate the free wifi, and how accommodating they are for dogs with a nice grassy dog potty area that includes a doggie bag dispenser & trash can inside the little rain shelter, and extra linens for them to sit on inside the room. The maids do an excellent job of cleaning, and the desk clerk was really nice.
The motel is at the top of a cliff, but there is access to the beach a couple blocks downhill. Be prepared for a steep walk back up the road. Be aware of the tide tables, because high tide can sometimes come all the way up to the stairs. Don't get trapped down there!
I miss the old retro Ester mannequin in the lobby.
