When I checked out of the motel they gave me a receipt that was about $250 cheaper than what Expedia charged me. When I talked to Expedia they said there wasn't a refund to be given and the higher price with them was final. I will not be using Expedia again. The only way I could contact them was a chat by texting. Why don't they have phone numbers listed on app or easily found on website?

They would not let us check in before 4:00 pm, which would not have been a problem but the motel was less than half occupied. We did not see a single staff person our entire stay. Everything was done by text message. Our shower was not clean, we took photos as soon as we entered the room. Not satisfied to say the least.

Excellent little beach motel! Not fancy but who needs fancy when you have the ocean steps away? Room was clean and staff was kind. This motel is location is steps away from food and fun. Have stayed here before and will stay here again.
