The 44-room Capri Motor Lodge is a friendly, charming budget hotel run by two sisters that is located directly across the street from the lovely public beach. A short distance from popular dining and shopping areas, this value property has a relaxed, communal atmosphere with various outdoor activities such as a pool with lounge chairs, shuffleboard, ping pong, several grills, and picnic tables. The rooms are spacious and clean, though dated with patterned bedspreads. All of the rooms have kitchenettes or kitchens and the suites are very spacious with a separate living room. Decor isn't winning any awards, but overall it's a slight step up from Avondale by the Sea -- another large budget hotel a few blocks up the beach.
