This motel is very close to the entrance to the Presqu'ile State Park, which is lovely and free. Because it is a non busy season, upon arriving, the owner upgraded us to a room with a jacuzzi. The motel is a standard, cheap motel, which could use upgrades, but it is clean and comfortable, staff is friendly and helpful, parking is convenient, location is good, and we had everything we needed for our 2 night stay.
