A nice place for an overnighter

This is a quaint little motel. Very clean, close to restaurant, mall, and other essential services. It is a reasonable distance from the ferry. It is older and somewhat dates but everything worked fine. It is quiet. Just what was needed for a restful night before the ferry

The host was very nice and gave us great sightseeing info. Our room was nice, with everything we needed, but it needed updating. The bay window needed work and the bathroom was out of date, with not enough places to hang towels to dry.
