It’s fine for a quick over night stay, but not for a nice family vacation. Room is small. But it’s a motel like facility which is expected. Can hear lots of noises outside including the train. Otherwise staff is very nice.

It is a great property at an excellent location! Our room is spacious and clean. We enjoyed walking to the beach and taco's nearby. We appreciated very much that there is a Tesla charging plug available in the parking lot. The only reason that prevents us from giving a 5 stars rating is our room wifi is very bad! It is so hard to get on and so easy to be dropped! It is quite an experience to stay in your room without wifi service as our T-mobile phone happens to have little signal as well. Our room number was 14.

No WiFi and a kitchen w/zero utensils or items
I got a suite and there was NO internet and NO phone signal. When I complained they said their internet simply didn't reach that far and suggested I used the WiFi of the Motel 6 next door (which wasn't great either). My suite had a kitchen with ZERO utensils, plates, pans, etc. What's the point? Unbelievable. It wasn't cheap either.

The lady at the counter was very nice. But everything else was awful. Smelled like cleaning fluid and had icky residue on the towels, AC didn't work, TV didnt work, extremely small room that even my 1 year old refused to crawl in, wood flooring upstairs means we could hear the people above us for 45 minutes at midnight. Could hear the family on the other side of the wall like they were in the same room. The bathroom was remodeled recently. Its lovely, but the shower is dumb. You have to get wet in order to turn on the water, and the hot water runs out very quickly. The bed is extremely firm. The pillows are cheap. This room would be fine for $50. I paid $400 and almost cried.
