2/10 Poor

No Sleep
Very nice view of the beach. The room seemed clean at first. Later, in the evening when I returned after dark I found little roaches... on the wall by the night stand, on the left corner of the foot of the bed, on the floor of the bathroom and in the shower. The office was closed. I needed to get up very early. I had no choice. It was a terrible night. I left as early as I could.

This was great little motel. The owner was very nice! We had to check in early and they were more than happy to accommodate us. The room was clean and updated. Next time though I would request a room upstairs because the people above is were quiet loud most of the time. It was in the perfect spot for us. We parked our car and never had to drive it anywhere the rest of our stay.
