The couple that works there was so nice! They put me in their best room, which was almost like it's own cottage. Away from the main hotel. It was extremely clean, and cute. The affordable pricing was just the cherry on the cake. I highly recommend ??

The owner called me at 10:00, I was in bed, and he insisted I move my car. I dressed as quickly as possible and was about to go out the door when he began pounding on the door. When I looked at how the car was parked there was no reason to move it.

This is a small, very clean motel close to the coastal walking path. It is dog friendly and, on my visit, was filled with very kind and interesting guests. Very comfortable.
