For the price of our stay , accommodation should’ve been a lot better than what they were
Pros:

There was no breakfast there was no supplies to make coffee or tea. Another person that was staying in that motel provided the coffee, tea and creamer. No staff to provide these items. Beach location was good.

Cons:

Didn’t like the mattress on the bed you need to replace it and put a new one it sunk in laying on it very uncomfortable didn’t like the sink in the room should’ve been in the bathroom and it was hard to Unlock and lock doors was kind of hard at times had to pull the door to lock and unlock it should be updated. Also, the windows were missing curtains they only had blinds should have update furniture chairs were sunk in when you sat in them no table to put things on or to eat on.

Very great location!
Pros:

We absolutely loved the location! It was literally just a few steps from the beach and the sand. The property was about a 15-minute walk from the Pier, which was very convenient. We also really appreciated that our room was separate from the main lobby, so there weren’t lots of people around and it felt much quieter and more private. Having free parking included in the building’s parking lot was also a great bonus. We had a great stay!

Cons:

We didn’t like that there was no refrigerator in the room. It would have been very convenient to have one.

Pros:

The location was great. It is steps to the beach. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I loved waking up to views of the ocean every morning.

Cons:

There weren't any places to hang wet towels or a place to rinse your feet after the beach. I didn't like that you had to walk across the street to check in at a different motel.
