It's your typical motel, a little bit more pricey than what I'd expect as there are many other properties that are similar. I could hear road noise nearby.

I didn't expect it is going to be a good hotel because the hotel price was affordable. But the hotel room size, bed size ,refrigerator, microwave.. all were good enough for our family. outside was freezing cold but the hotel room was warm and cozy. I was able to have a good sleep.

My mother is 83 years old and we reserved a room for her via Expedia. We had a confirmation number from the hotel, yet when we arrived they said they didn't have a reservation for us and they were full, no rooms available. The redirected us to a sister location a couple of blocks away. It was a little more run down than the original hotel we chose. They had a room available, but it was a smoking room (it reeked) and my mother has lung issues. We were given another room upon asking, but it was upstairs, no elevator and was difficult to get to when you have trouble with stairs due to being 83 years old with lung problems. The room wasn't bad, but the issues with check-in were troublesome.

Good deal by the Sea
The motel receptionist is very friendly and accommodating. I got the room I requested. I arrived late and receptionist was there to greet me. I felt safe even though there was another sketchy motel across street who can see me walk to my room on the 2nd floor, I heard cat calls. The motel parking is well lit. I didn't have issues with noise, stayed during Thanksgiving weekend, it was very quiet, but when someone walked by I could hear everything. The inside was clean and comfy, it's a bit outdated, no smells, the floors were new, not carpet. Overall it was a good deal for the area.
