8.6/10
I had a lovely stay at this retro-style motel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and the rooms were charming and comfortable. However, I did encounter some issues with parking and the breakfast didn't fully meet my expectations. Still, the vibrant character and clean surroundings made it a rewarding choice.
