This motel is perfectly located and close to everything. As well, right across the street from the beach and the magnificent views. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful. We were able to stash our bags with them upon checkout as our train was in the late afternoon. We were also taken to the train station as it would have been quite the walk with suitcases. They went above and beyond! I highly recommend this motel.
