The view from room 217 is outstanding and I will look for that room again upon our next visit. This is an older motel, no elevator but has a full kitchen and seperate bedroom. Some road noise but it's not bad. Takes a couple of minutes for the hot water to get to the faucets and I think the shower is possessed. Difficult to find a comfortable temperature and will go ice cold if someone uses the hot water from another room.

Beautiful views of the ocean, clean room and kind staff. The property is a little rundown, but the rooms had some updates. I appreciate the full kitchen. Bathroom towels could be bigger. Don't use microwave and toaster at the same time. 😀

Floors were a little soft in spots near small bed, main bed was small. Needs tongs for kitchen. Those are very minor complaints. Views were outstanding. Fireplace and dog friendly were the reasons for me choosing this place. I will repeat
