Pam was very understanding and made us feel at home. Nice little room for what it is, nothing to fancy and you get what you pay for. Just a place to sleep and stay at without over paying at other motels. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to stay a night or two.

Rooms are very small and cramped. Clean and newly remodeled. Price is ok for weekly rates. The only good thing about this place is it's across the street from food and shopping.

Owner was very nice and overall a nice place to stay. We were able to check in early and check out late with no extra charge. We stayed in one of the rooms that has not been remodeled yet but it was clean. Only difference was an older tv, fridge and microwave but bed was comfortable. Its not fancy but it serves its purpose. Will definitely stay again.

The manager is really going out of her way to make this a better place to stay. She is constantly trying to upgrade the rooms even with limited budget she is allowed. She just took over about 4 to 5 moths ago so please ignore any posts before that. All in all as for the rooms, you are getting your money's worth but how friendly and helpful the manager is makes it the best part of the stay.

This place is wonderful! Pam (the manager)was very kind and generous to accommodate a large family! I will definitely recommend this place for friends and family. It is just a perfect spot to lay your head, eat, shower and go have some fun. It is only 5-10 minutes away from the bay/ocean. The cottage we stayed in was very cozy and had everything we needed! I'm so glad we were able to find this place and the family friendly environment too!
