The main strength of this motel is its proximity to Shadowbrook restaurant, just a few minutes walking, perfect for avoiding driving after enjoying one of the restaurant's amazing wine offerings. The motel is also by the beach, but it is not on the beach, and any view from the ocean-side rooms is blocked by other buildings. There's a nice kitchenette, and everything was visually clean, but an odor of staleness permeated the room. The staff was friendly, but the nickel-and-diming policies were annoying.
