It was fine for what we paid. Functional and clean for an overnight stay on a road trip, which is what we needed. Staff person we interacted with was friendly and helpful.

I've stayed there several times over the last 20 years but havent for a few years. Unfortunately there has been little upkeep done and the place is in need of a major redo. Despite the condition it was clean and the staff very friendly.

I am usual a very accomodating person but this property was very disappointing. Good things. 6 mins from shopping and Ferry Manager was sincere and tried to be understanding of our concerns but didnt really do much to help. Beds and bathroom were relatively clean. Small fridge and older microwave. No kettle or coffee maker. No screen door on exterior of room. No windows that could open. All other units had screen doors and screens on windows. Only 2 plugs in the whole room. Beds creaky and hard. Curtain rod broken and had to call manager to put up rod to allow us to close drapes. Toilet seat lose and slipping sideways. Close to noisy busy roadway. There were at least 10 other units that he said he couldnt switch us to because they were pet friendly units and we had no pets. I would not stay here again.

It is a clean and basic travel motel. Located on main sideroad, in a very quiet location. Nothing fancy put a real clean and quite place for a traveler to get a great night's sleep. And the rates are great.
