“Rooms are very well maintained, stocked daily with fresh towels, soaps, shampoo and conditioner. Property was clean but 1960ish. Plenty of parking. We enjoyed our stay as this inn is within walking distance to everything you'd want to do at the beach. My.family would definitely stay again.”

“My sister and I recently booked a room for our parents to stay here as a surprise. The hotel was beyond accommodating to us from the very beginning. Once my parents arrived, they raved about the cleanliness of the room, pool area, and the hospitality of the employees. They also loved the location! They had the best time and said they will absolutely be back.”

“A great place to stay on a budget or on a time crunch. The rooms were very clean and best of all the AC units kicked out some cold air! The pool was clean and well kept along with the rest of the facilities. The cleaning staff were very friendly and offered anything we needed. Would definitely recommend!”

“It is an older style motel. But that is the charm. You have all you need for a comfortable stay. It is very clean, staff is great and the pool is a nice size and also very clean. We like the kitchenette room with small kitchen, microwave and regular oven and stove. Short walk to beach and great location for food and pastimes. We will be back for the end of this season for a second trip this year.”
