The property was noisy and the "neighbors" children were up until after midnight stomping around in the room. Other than that, the room was clean and useable.

The pictures are very deceiving. No beach in sight yet the pictures that Expedia has posted makes it look like the ocean is within sight. The motel offers no breakfast and look more like a motel 6.
