The location is the big draw. A short walk to the boardwalk and the wharf. The motel is old and not pretty, but was clean. The bed is extremely firm making sleep pretty fleeting for us in our 50’s. Staff was pleasant. I would Suggest having bottles of water and sundries for sale in the lobby. Again, the location is great and we enjoyed the beach.

This was a last minute stay with our grandkids after spending the day at the beach. It didn’t disappoint and now our future trips will include a stay at this hotel. Location was perfect, the staff friendly and the room was very comfortable!
