I have stayed at this motel for the last two years and I get the same excuse every years as to why the cable does not work in the rooms. I was told they are working on it for 2 years. The cable in the lobby works fine but there is no working TV in the rooms.

Quaint hotel with kind and helpful staff within walking distance of shops and harbor. Beds are comfortable and clean, breakfast is filling and plentiful. Only discrepancy is there is no restaurant on site.
