OK stay for V-Day.

Room was just "OK". Floor was dirty (Had to keep socks on). The entry door was hard to get in / out of. Cold fridge, small TV. Room had a great view. Office staff was cold and unfriendly. Overall, just ok for the price.

An OK place to crash for one night (before a cruise for example), or if you are young and are in the area to party and just need a place to pass out.Definitely unsuitable for longer stays, especially with kids. It may have been a fairly decent motel once. It even has a pool (dirty and neglected, but a pool nevertheless). Walls are paper-thin, AC is noisy and there is plenty of mold. The staff are nice and you can see that they do what they can to keep the property more or less clean and welcoming. The place is in dire need of a major overhaul.
