Honestly the place looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in days . The place looks out dated . I got 2 rooms , the other room l got was for my parents. That room didn’t have any bath soap or shampoo. And it was missing 1 towel . The area is rough, homeless people hanging around the parking lot. I definitely would not go there again .

Don’t do it! It’s a dump.
Old old structure. Questionable condition. Rotten and rusted banisters and balcony. Room was tiny. Tiny! Barely enough room. To walk around the beds. Absolutely no sound deadening from room to room. Totally sketchy people and activities in the parking lot. I’d not recommend this place to anyone.

Room very small. Not much room to walk in front of the bed. Strong smell of marijuana.

Buyer beware.
The room was basic. TV didn’t work, but I didn’t report it. Blankets were thin. Motel is in a sketchy part of town, lots of street people. My family was concerned for my safety. Two towels only, no wash cloths. For the price, not adequate. Almost $600 for three nights. Won’t go there again.

Would not recommend
Smelled like smoke, felt dirty, lightening was too bright. Asked where our dog could relief himself, was told to walk to the beach. The beach is not close, not very helpful front desk person.
