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.

Really nice, clean room with everything you need in it, the rooms are quite tight but did not affect my sta. I made an error with the booking and actually needed two beds and they were able to accommodate me at short notice. Nice coffee in the morning from the office. Great location

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).
