Summary: Don’t underrate this motel. I enjoy the service and the amenities are enough to do just about whatever you need. Downstairs provide plenty of space for sleeping and AC units in the rooms are perfect for the cold sleepers. Upstairs is spacious and worth the family stay with enough separation to enjoy a few days while yall explore the beach. I’ll keep coming
