Although this two-story motel is on a major highway, it's set back from the road and the rooms are quiet because most of them are behind the restaurant and pool. Decorated with dark wood and goldenrod-tone carpeting and bedspreads, they're also clean and comfortable. Landscaping is well maintained, and the location is convenient if you plan to sightsee. Handsome Pate's Steak House, a big name to local meat eaters, is on-site. Pros: free Wi-Fi; nice steak house; fair rates. Cons: 15-minute drive to beach; on busy highway; not conducive to walking to restaurants and shops.
