This motel was lovely. Quiet with easy parking and very convenient to shops and some eateries, or a short drive to the Tavern that has a great Wednesday night Parmy and Pot special. Rooms that overlook the water are an option that would be lovely. Would definately recommend a stay if passing through.

Staff were lovely. Sleeping area good. Great view of the ocean. Only issues were the bathroom. Had to use the sink to get water or rinse dishes. The sink drain was blocked and took 5-10 mins to drain. Happened immediately while just running the tap so it was a big problem for brushing teeth or even washing hands. Management aware of issue and it was temporary but very unpleasant for us.
