So many reasons to stay here.
Pros:

This is a cute motel directly across the street from the beach. Fantastic location, comfortable bed, clean, within walking distance to many restaurants. They left sweet bread in the room for us. There’s warm coffee in the lobby during office hours and they let me borrow a book to read. The beach is gorgeous, too! If you are vacationing, this is a great place to stay.

Cons:

The wifi was not good. I had trouble even using my phone to look at maps or social media. My husband planned on working while there, but the internet was useless for that. So make sure you are going to the beach to get away from it all- not to stay connected.
Probably a fluke, but the water heater went out the last day, so we didn’t get a shower that day before leaving. As we checked out they said they reset the water heater and we could stay longer to shower (which is nice), but we were already packed up because check-out is at 10AM. I feel like that is too early for check-out. Despite these things, I would definitely return because the price was good, location is great, and it was clean and comfortable- especially if I wanted to be completely separated from ordinary life.

Beautiful and comfortable room.
Pros:

The room was really pretty and comfortable. The location to the beach was great!

Cons:

The room could have been a little cleaner. The Floors needed a good mopping. And the table had needed to be wiped. Also a good stain remover for the chair. ( kinda didn’t want to sit in it from all the stains)
