The room was immaculate. The staff were pleasant. The breakfast was far superior to the usual hotel fare. The facility, although serviceable, is old.

The room is a good size and clean. Beds are comfy. Website breakfast times do not match the QR you are asked to scan in the room. Small pool is a nice touch.

Although the room had a few outdated amenities it was clean & comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. They gave a choice of hot breakfast items which was nice considering it was supposed to be a continental breakfast.

This is a nice little motel. It is reasonable, clean and the staff are great, especially, Mike, who cooks great bacon and eggs! The pool is clean and the place is quiet. We stayed for three nights while we toured the area, and would highly recommend a stay at the Mermaid Inn.
