This was our 2nd time staying at this hotel and I have to say it was cleaner and still a comfortable place to stay. The breakfast was nothing special but a nice option. We will possibly stay here again.

It was an old fashioned motel , no frills and I like it but it could use just some remodeling. It was very clean and I liked that it was quite compact and I could park right in front of my room. It woukd have nice if the motel itself had its own breakfast bar instead of having to walk next door. It was a great short getaway and well priced.

Well kept property, clean rooms, nice staff. Would have been nice to have a coffee maker instead of having to walk over to the Bay Inn next door. Bathtub didn't have a plug or stopper to take a bath which my wife loves to do. Only a shower. Would stay there again.

If you like a typical ‘70s style motor lodge this is for you. Room was clean and comfortable. Microwave and refrigerator were clean. We checked in at 430pm and the floor was still quite wet from cleaning crew. It was very humid that day but the floor was still too wet. Other than that the staff was very friendly
