Location is superior; quick beach access. The room was clean but spartan. Outside of the building was retro; the inside was economy. Don’t expect a hot shower- lukewarm was the best I could get; that was disappointing. Property was clean and safe. Excellent neighborhood.

The property served its purpose. Unfortunately checkin starting at 3pm does not guarantee the room will be ready. We did not get our room until around 5:30pm after waiting 1.5 hours. I would recommend blackout curtains because the outdoor lights are shining right into the room, resulting in disturbed sleep.

Good location

Just steps from the beach, it’s in a good location. Room was modern and bed was comfy. Room was quite noisy, you could hear the room next door talking and the water running in the pipes. Service was just okay, person who checked us in was checking in multiple people at a time in an attempt to be efficient but it wasn’t. It was reasonably priced but probably wouldn’t stay again.

Not Your Typical Motel 6

Super Cute Vintage Hotel. You can see the ocean from the hotel and you can't beat the price point. The rooms are super clean and decorated in the "vintage style". Definitely not your typical Motel 6...I loved it.

Great location, peace and quiet.

Great location for a short walk to the beach. About a 30 minute walk to the downtown area. Plenty of parking. Nice enough room in a very quiet area.
