Great grab and go breakfast. We liked the old classic motel feel.

Very satisfying and exceptional.
Sorry. I didn't eat breakfast at the motel because there were places within walking distance to eat, but the coffee in the room was good. The fridge and microwave was great along with all the storage for your belongings…

I would go back

Great time
Walking distance to the beach, stores and restaurants.
Only thing I didn't like was the shower gets scalding hot where it could burn you.
