8/10 Very good

The room was comfortable and clean. The motel is classic 60/70's- drive up to the room . The owners have maintained the premises and tried to keep the nostalgia from the era.

Emilio, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My son and I stayed overnight on our way to the Outer Banks. Room is clean and bed is comfortable- room has a mini fridge and coffeemaker. Our room was #1 and closest to the street so there was some traffic noise but it didn't keep us awake. Property manager/owners were excellent with communication which is a plus since there wasn't anyone on site. Would definitely stay here again!

Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Helpful and friendly staff, nice size comfortable room with a table and chairs, sofa, fridge, coffee maker, etc. The bathroom, however, is miniscule. A large person might have trouble using the shower or the toilet! The website mentioned that they have bicycles that are available for free, but the bikes were pretty rusty and two of the three had flat tires. The location being walking distance (several blocks) to the waterfront might justify the price, but we felt that it could have been a bit better experience.
