If you’re just looking for something quick cheap in the middle of everything with no frills, this is the place for you. Best thing is that the rooms come with good size refrigerators in a microwave. Bed is firm and pillows are ok. No breakfast is served, but there is a coffee maker in the room. Centrally located within a minute to 5 of dining and casinos. Staff was excellent. It was a local family owned motel.

It was cheap (relatively speaking), clean and no problem with management meeting me late at night to get me my key to my room - effortless. If you only need a basic, clean room and comfortable bed at a decent price, this is your place. .

The room had everything we needed, the parking was included in the price, no hidden fees, and the service was simple and straight forward. Easy to check in, even easier to check out. Great location, could easily walk to the beach for sunset.

Room was well equipped . Frig, micro, coffee maker, iron and board, TV, hair dryer. Furniture was appropriate for the size of the room. The room was not air conditioned but a box window fan and a floor stand oscillating fan worked great.
