First, the location - it is right on the beach, I had never been at a hotel that was that close to the beach, it was great. Also great was that it was very close to the pier, and on the side where they have the fireworks every Thursday night, so we were treated to a great firework show from right outside our motel door, or could walk 100 ft and be right beside it. The motel is also right beside the Playland Palace, we took an all day bracelet one day and my kids were able to go 3 times since it was so close to our motel, I stayed on the beach or in the room. We saw the moon rise over the ocean, it was beautiful.
Our room was small, but boy did they make the best use of all the available space! There were drawers beneath the two beds so plenty of room to put our clothes and things, I kept the suitcases in the car. Also nice little kitchen with stove and fridge - no counter space, but I managed by putting the cutting board over the sink. But you don't make a 4 course meal in that kitchen... The bathroom was clean and also very compact yet comfortable.
The owners are very friendly and nice, go out of their way to make sure their guests are happy with their stay.
Coffee is only available at 7:30 am, but there is a Duncan Donut 5 min walk away that opens at 5:00 am so those of us who get up early could still get our coffee - there is no coffee maker in the rooms.
The motel provides beach chairs and umbrellas which was a pleasant surprise. The pool was also very nice and clean. The place was quiet during the night.
