Though it's starting to look a little worn in places, this beachside motel with a wide range of rooms (including one-bedroom units) in three buildings is a good deal and right on the beach. The old-building rooms are drab; newer suites with kitchenettes and fireplaces are worth the extra cost. Room 27 has one of the best views.
