Located just a mile from Centennial Park and within easy reach of Morey's Piers amusement park, the property provides access to several local attractions without the hassle of city crowds.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Just returned from our first stay here. Great location right on the Beach. Rooms were perfectly suited for what we needed. The Staff was wonderful - doing anything they can do to make it more pleasant for the customer. Very attentive to customer needs as well. Will not hesitate to return again. So nice seeing a family oriented motel.”
“Love this Motel. Old school charm right on the beach. Great location, friendly management, rooms are kept clean and neat every day and I love the Dinner/Coffee shop! Our family, extended family and almost our entire neighborhood book here every year.”
“Clean, well kept, right on the beach, really nice pool. Its dated but super clean and in good shape so who cares. I have a softspot for those colors in bathrooms anyway. Not overly patrolled or policed, yes you can have a beer at the pool, yes you can have a cigarette outside your room. Very good place to stay. We will return.”
“We had a great stay. You can’t beat the location as you’re right on the beach. Frank was super pleasant and helpful from the first time I called to get information, to booking, to when we actually arrived. This place is not updated or a five star resort but it’s nostalgic, priced nicely, and most importantly - clean.”
