Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The good: Staff was very friendly. Room was clean and had a nice view of the ocean. I enjoyed having a fan provided as well as the fireplace in my room. The bad: The motel itself seems dated and looks like an old apartment building. The rooms have older blinds instead of curtains that don’t block out light at night from the hallway. There was some kind of smoke alarm that shone a very bright white light every 20 or 30 seconds that was irritating to try and sleep through. The room itself seemed dated, for the price I paid I was expecting it to be a bit more renovated, however it was very clean. All in all, it was just an OK experience.

Room was clean. Had stairs to climb but I had help to carry items in. There was construction below so didn't have beach access. (not hotel's fault. Just disappointing) There wasn't a baking dish, but the lobby provided a pan and some aluminum foil and I made it work. Easy access. A mid-point for where we traveled. Enjoyed looking out over the ocean. Would stay here again when I am down in Oregon.

This is the second time we have stayed here. This time we got a room with a kitchen and a gas fireplace. The room was clean and the view was wonderful? Spent most of one day just watching the ocean out the big windows because it was raining so much, which was great! The only downside: We had to Hotspot off my phone for internet, because their wifi was down. No big deal.

When you choose your room online there are no actual pictures of the room you choose because it literally hadn’t been updated since the 80s. You are unable to regulate or even turn off the original furnace heater in your room that was set so uncomfortably high I couldn’t sleep even with the window open. The bed was sub standard and the mattress was cheap and uncomfortable. The owners have not made any investments to the property and it shows. Take your money and choose another hotel.

A gem on above the beach.

For a place that has been around a while, they are really attempting to keep a friendly and open place. I can imagine the upkeep on a place like this, so close to the water. The view is definitely a huge bonus and within walking distance of access to beach. I had a good stay while taking it easy...with a nice view.

I could hear the fridge running over the sound of the ocean lol. And there was construction near the property and we needed to drive to get beach access somewhere else. It was a fine place to stay, and the view was pretty- but for the money I don’t think it was quite worth it.
