"We stayed here for one night and had a pleasant overall experience. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the room heating could be adjusted to our preferred temperature. It became a little warm during the night, but after turning the heater off, it was perfect.
Although we arrived quite late, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They even drew us a simple map by hand to show us exactly where our room was and how to get there, which was a thoughtful gesture that made check-in very easy. The motel also provides free parking, which was very convenient for us as we were driving.
The only disappointment was the weather. It rained throughout the entire night and continued into the next morning, so unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the ocean view across the road.
Another downside was that someone outside was shouting and repeatedly yelling profanity in the middle of the night, which disturbed our sleep. Hopefully the property can do more to manage noise during late hours.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable, the staff were friendly and thoughtful, and the free parking was a great bonus. We would happily stay here again, especially if the weather is better next time."
