Location can’t be beat! Room was clean and renovated and just what we needed for our 3 night stay. Big thanks to Omar for accommodating our requests. Pool is nice perk. Spent some time there as well as the ‘Barbra Club’ on the beach, 1 block from the Motel. Rented electric bikes from BCycle…there is a hub right along the bike path across from the motel. Highly suggest. Overall, very good experience. Thank you!

Our room wasn’t ready at check in time. We had to wait an hour and a half. In that time, the cleaning person got one and a half rooms done. There were a lot of people waiting for their rooms. I run my own businesses and know that management is important and being on top of what staff are doing and how long it should take them and how long it is taking them is important. To me it seemed that one person not doing their job well was creating a lot of frustration for a lot of people. Otherwise stay was great. Location is awesome and rooms were what you would expect.
