It was beautiful to wake up at the beach location every day. We had a longer stay so the staff gave us a balcony to see the sunrise each morning. We also brought our dog and were thankful the hotel accommodated that. We highly recommend this hotel.

Great motel located across from the beach
Great location!!! Room was very spacious and had a full kitchen. The motel is quite old and run down and could use a refresh but the location and size of rooms you can’t beat. It’s dog friendly also.

This was a great location very close to the beach. Room was plain but comfortable. Location was great to access all of the SB waterfront. Hotel was quiet at night. No air conditioning so might be hot in summer.
