The staff was great and kind enough to provide us with a late check in along with notice of road closures in the area. The room was clean excpet for some jam on the mini fridge. Staff made sure we had fresh towels every day which was nice. The room is a little worn down, but overal nice for a beach motel. The bed was super comfy and had mattress protectors even on the box spring. No signs of bed bugs. Location was perfect for walking to the beach if you don't mind a 5-10 minite walk with a few corner stores along the way and plenty of restaurants to choose from. As a female, I felt safe and would stay here again.

I did notice about the carpeting in the room might need cleaning. I just happen to be walking around barefoot in the room. I sat down to put my shoes on and the bottoms of my feet were black. The only place I was barefoot was in the room. Otherwise, everything else was ok.
