Fodor's Review:

Just 2½ blocks from the beach, this basic but cozy motor court is a great bargain for the area. Along with a 2005 room remodel, the property upgraded its name from "motel" to "inn." Choose from king, queen, or two-bedded rooms; all have European country-style furnishings and floral details painted on the walls and ceilings. Pros: Walking distance from the beach, clean rooms, friendly and dependable service. Cons: Sits on a busy road, small rooms, tiny pool.
