    I know I was in a pet room but the smell of bleach/ cleaning products was overwhelming. I slept with the bathroom window open to air it out .

    Small fridge , microwave and coffee make is a bonus . They also had a nice welcome pet bag for my pup .

    LOVELY management and clean, comfy rooms.

    It's a little noisy because it is a budget motel and attracts people/large groups looking for that price point. But that is no reflection on the motel.

    Management is the very best thing about this place. Super helpful, responsive, and friendly. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Good amenities like coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge, and a tv that worked well. I always go over a room with disinfecting wipes before I settle in and I didn't pick up any dust or dirt inside the room.

    Only issue I feel worth mentioning is the shower water was not hot in the AM.

    Property was clean, comfortable and a convenient location. Amenities were as advertised, enjoyed outside seating area that was upgraded from the pictures and very comfortable.

    The shampoo and conditioner dried my hair really bad, and the conditioner bottle had shampoo in it. The bed felt like one corner was lower on the left side of the head of the bed, and the frame was very Annoying.

    I loved the staff. We had our dog, which was great. They had treats for the pet's so sweet.

    The walls are a little thin, so I definitely recommend ear plugs to block out the sounds coming from neighboring rooms. Altogether, definitely more plusses than minuses.

    The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The deco in the room was really cute, classic beach look & feel. The bed was very comfortable, and the whole room was spacious and gave out a welcoming feel. For pet owners, it's also nice that there is a grass area and a gravel area so that pets can go "do their thing" regardless of what their preferred ground is. Overall, extremely convenient location, right off of 101 and close to restaurants and the beach (walking distance).

    Can't think of anything 😊

    We only stayed 1 night but it was very enjoyable. This motel focuses on what's important and has almost all the amenities you need. Very dog friendly and the hardwood floor in the room makes all the different. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. Can't ask for a better location. Staff was very friendly and communication with the owner was a breeze. You won't be disappointed.

    I think something in the pipes ran on and off

    Wonderful welcome especially for our pooch who got a treat bag! There is also a green patch of real lawn for those guys who are picky where they go. Power was out for several hours when we arrived. We were nervous around dusk then it came on. Staff were great about communication (nothing they could do city issue). Place is walking distance to anything you need and beach right there. Plenty of room for twin air mattress for son but bed was big and comfortable so we bunked.

    Wish there wasn't pet fee. Wish there was more kitchen stuff to go with micro/fridge, etc utensils, paper towels, etc

    Great water pressure in shower, comfortable bed. Wish there were a couple extra kitchen items: cups, spoons, napkins or paper towels. Great place to stay

    Nothing to complain about.

    Pictures don't do this justice. The motel room was super clean and spacious and looked like it had recently been renovated. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Free parking (and we could stay longer than check in if required to visit the area). Comfy bed. Great access to the beach and pier.

    Shower facilities were a little outdated in comparison to the bedroom.

    Spacious, modern and clean rooms. Great location just a short stroll to the beach and restaurants. Felt very safe walking to and from the property at night. The lady working at reception was very welcoming, helpful and friendly.
