The proximity to the Bridge was amazing for sunset/sunrise views. The room was small, but perfect for a one night stay as a solo traveler. Bed was decent and my mark of any good hotel - sleep timer on the TV- check, and decent pillows - check.

The outside is dated which is cool. It gives the old time hotel vibe. The rooms are updated and very clean. The view of the bridge is awesome. We only stayed overnight so didn't get a chance to check things out. Hope to get back so we can and I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel has by far the best view of the bridge right on the water. Pool overlooks water and bridge. Rooms are clear and tidy. Parking felt protected since it was behind the hotel. Check in was great the person on the desk was very helpful and attentive. Walking distance to restaurants downtown.

This is an original motel, I think. It's been beautifully maintained. The recent bathroom reno is excellent. Our room gave us all we wanted while we prepped our boat to launch: fridge, Kuerig coffee maker, comfortable lounge chair, breakfast table and most important, a very comfy bed. Plus, it's right on the water surrounded by a park!
