Note that the check-in for this property is at another property a block and a half away. Limited parking an available on site so you may have to park at their other property and walk over. It’s a beachfront motel though so it’s hard to knock it!

Weekend getaway

Bed and room were clean but could have used extra pillows. The windows were almost impossible to close once opened. The beach was right out the door and so were some nice restaurants which was awesome.

Good value for the area, which is mostly much more expensive. Parking was a bit inconvenient, but having a guaranteed parking spot is great at the beach.

Nice beach stay with a far check in

It was a good stay and very comfortable. It's right next to the boardwalk for the beach and is good for a morning stroll. The only issue is that check in is off site and you need to walk about a block away to check in. This wouldn't be too big an issue if they found a way to communicate this before you check in. I had to walk around the whole hotel just to see a tiny sign on a small door that said check in is a block north.

The location is amazing. The room was decent. The only thing I didn’t like is you have to walk to another hotel to check in but the staff was very friendly. Would stay again
