Recommended. Older couple getaway.

Very nice older style motel with updated amenities inside. Clean and comfortable with lovely service. Pool was heaven after a hot day and was not chlorine but saltwater (yay). Lovely entryway with piano and curved staircase to upper floor. Restaurant on site that caters breakfast as well. We would definitely stay again.
