The room was a bit small. The layout was a bit cramped. There was a heated swimming pool and parking. There was a kitchen. It was just steps from the beach. Shopping and dining options were very convenient nearby.

很像高級版的汽車旅館，沒有電梯非常不方便，嬰兒推車需要自己扛上樓，路人即可直接走到你的房間門口，讓人感到沒有安全感，服務態度很普通

Weather stripping needs to be put at the bottom of the door of the room I was staying. Aside from that, everything about the room was great and the receptionists at the front desk were super nice! Thanks so much!

The AC was hard to operate and I think the filter needs to be cleaned. When I woke up the room smelled like stale food. Also, the vinyl flooring needs a good moping. I spilled water by the bedside and when I wiped it up the paper towel was black.

Small motel, very well kept up. Liked the fireplace in the room. Parking is limited. Very clean and safe

Everything about this place was great. The room, the staff and the location. If you’re more into being where all the action is and you’re not into walking this might not be your place. But I liked that it was a little away from the touristy stuff.
