Pros:

Excellent motel in a fantastic location, just a short walk from the beach. The room was beautifully renovated while preserving the property's original charm and design. The beds were large, comfortable, and provided a great night's sleep.

The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. On-site parking was plentiful and very convenient, making everything easy from check-in to check-out.

We would happily stay here again.

Pros:

Staff accogliente. Posizione buona, fronte mare. Piscina che non guasta mai. In 15 minuti a piedi siamo arrivati nella zona pedonale della downtown.
Camera pulita. Parcheggio economico $10 a notte

Cons:

La stanza molto piccola, letti scomodissimi ma trattandosi per noi di una sola notte alla fine ci siamo accontentati. Noi eravamo nella camera 103 attaccata alla lavanderia ( fino alle 5pm un gran baccano).
