Great little motel - 2 min walk to the harbor. -Walking distance to restaurants and vintage shops. -Great hospitality from staff. -My room had a nice partial view of the rock and water. Suggestions for a better unobstructed view 1) trim the city trees for a better view. 2) remove the window slats. Thanks!
