Convenient stopover

Clean and convenient location for family travel, everything you could expect from a basic motel room but we felt that the room rate that we paid was overpriced. Would definitely do more research for our next visit for properties that match the price range.

Nice upgrade with partial ocean view. Room facing main road but no traffic noise. Great location, walking distance to all restaurants/cafes. 1 min drive from motel to EV charging was great. Would stay here again when driving through.
