United States of America2 Reviews“Awesome stay, highly recommend!”Can't think of one thing!
The location was excellent! We walked everywhere! The room was perfectly sized, clean and comfortable, and we didn't hear a thing from other units while there. The morning continental breakfast was the perfect way to start the day. Staff was exceptionally friendly.

Lovely motel. Quality room. Bath and decor fantastic. Nice and quiet at night. Location to beach and center excellent. Use of bikes fun. Staff excellent and helpful. If only one very minor point maybe use ceramic bowls at breakfast. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

United States of America30 Reviews4 helpful votes“Ideal location with friendly staff and well-appointed rooms.”Not one thing!
The location was ideal: close to State Street and one block away from the beach. The rooms were adorable, comfortable, and really well thought out. I loved the reading light attached to the center lamp in between the beds! There was a fridge, coffee bar, and microwave in the room as well as a full length mirror! I was happily surprised by the breakfast. Not only was there yogurt, bagels and cereal, but also breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches. The staff was extremely kind and friendly! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

United States of America9 Reviews“Definitely enjoyed our stay and loved the convenience of being near beach.”Because it is a motel the unit is close to parking area and our dog is very sensitive to noise and barked more than normal.
It has been updated with a nice large shower and unit was very clean Breakfast was a continental with a really good sausage breakfast sandwich. The motel is a block from the beach with good restaurants and bars within walking distance. Another plus was we were able to bring our dog. Not all beaches allowed dogs but a short drive about 10 min we found the Butterfly beach.

United States of America2 ReviewsExceptionalLots of people had their dogs. Thankfully all the dogs were nice while we hung out in the center courtyard but we're not a dog family.
The staff let us have an early check-in and we walked we're able to walk just one block to the beach! The shower in the bathroom at the hotel room was amazing. Great water pressure and the size of the shower was nice after a day at the beach.

The location of the motel is about 1/2 block from the marina and a short walk to the pier. The room looks like they just updated everything, it was very clean and comfortable. The coffee inside the room was good, and the kitchenette was stocked with all the basic necessities. We spent some time on the swing just outside the lobby, to have coffee and pastries from the breakfast provided. We will definitely stay here again!
