Nice but older style motel. Parts of the room were showing their age. The location is very convenient to a Supermarket but much less convenient to shops and beach. You really need a car for these. The tariff is to some extent reflective of this. Great for an overnight stay but if staying longer there are better options in terms of convenience, though not price.

This is a nice small motel room tidy and clean. A/C would be a great addition and some small things needed attention like remote batteries fix the bed wheels no milk for coffee. Overall a well priced clean motel.

Created by friendly staff, room was perfect for my family of 5, loved the back patio to sit out at and dine. Easy walk to the beach and boardwalk and about 20min walk to the base of the Mount and a beautiful walk.

5 Stars! We were extremely happy with our stay - there was a lovely outdoor area with games, picnic tables and BBQ, ample parking, great location to the Mount but also close to the beach. Facilities were clean and tidy, with everything we needed. The owners and staff are absolutely lovely and very accommodating. We can’t wait to come back and visit next summer!
