The room was very clean and modern. I found a couch that was perfect. The wifi worked well and allowed me to plan my day. The price seemed reasonable and aligned with the offerings.

The carport felt a little tight.

uneven experience at the motel

easy accessno hookno shelf

the motel was easy to find, giving us good access to the peninsular road.

i would have provided this directly to the owners, but all correspondence from them has been from a no-reply email. the bathroom was not good. there was not a single hook in the room and not a single shelf to put your things. we had to thread our bath towel through the handle of the shower or leave it at the other end of the room on the toilet lid.

mixed feelings about this stay

beach locationno hooksno shelves

the motel was right next to the beach.

i was disappointed there were no hooks or shelves in the bathroom. we had to hang our towels on the shower handle or leave them on the toilet. it seems like adding a few hooks and a small shelf would be an easy fix and would increase the value of staying here.
