We loved the location and the roominess of the room. As it was a cool night, we also were happy that the heating worked. Great shower. A request for extra pillows was happily fulfilled. Also, it’s across the street from a waterfront park and a pleasant walk to the marina area.
The only problem…and a rather important one…was that the bed was quite uncomfortable. And that really does make or break one’s night.

Friendly, helpful staff. I was upgraded to a ground floor room after I said I should have booked one. I didn't have to ask for a change. The check-in clerk volunteered the change.
Parking was a little tight.

The motel is on the edge of a very small town. The hotel on the other end of town is much more expensive. This is a safe choice for an overnight stay while on a bike tour.
The motel is a bit tired. it has no bike storage. I had asked for ground level rooms and was given one on thge ground and one on the second story.

They allowed me to stay past checkout for a minimal fee. I had family distress problems that disturbed my sleep overnight. Much safer drive after extra sleep.
9.0
The bed and bedding was very comfortable. It had a nice balcony with chairs and we could look over to the ocean. It was a pleasant quiet location.
7.0
The location was great. Friendly staff and overall just a good stay in a clean room. There was a nice seating area in the room which was comfortable. And the view on the bay is just amazing.
The kitchenette was a bit short on kitchenwares. Only 2 pans, no cutting knife and very limited cutlery for example. Also, the rooms were noisy.
9.0
Nice location,had a very short stay. Older suite but beds and bath were clean and comfy,that's all I'm looking for!
Room smelled a bit musty but expected so close to the water! It was fine for what we needed!
5.0
The view was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was free parking. The room was spacious. It was walking distance to a nice park, shops, pubs and restaurants.
The room was dreary and rundown. The kitchenette drawers were dirty inside, the fridge had 2 inches of frost in it, the bathroom was terribly cramped.
With a little care, paint, and minor updating this motel could be great.
