I can't say enough about how happy we are to have discovered this great place. It is super clean, great location, walkable to the bridge, walkable to restaurants and other attractions, yet away from high traffic and crowds. Very convenient check in process! No hesitation on booking again, and in fact, can't wait for the next chance to do so!

Surprised by the good quality of my room. Totally new and modern room in an obviously old style roadside motel. They even provided an understandable guide to using the TV! The totally automated check in via emails worked perfectly. Never saw an actual human staff person while here which is why I downrated staff/service but I really have no complaints. For the low price I did not expect free breakfast but the in-room coffee system was just like any other motel. A family style restaurant is just 2 blocks away.

Incredibly clean and well maintained.

The owner of this motel must be OCD. Everything was unusually clean and very well maintained. It’s an old style motel, small and one story, but appears to be brand new. Not having a breakfast was a little annoying but we found a great breakfast place near the ferries so turned out to be a plus. All the arrangements were done without personal contact with staff. That worked well for us but if you are a high maintenance person that could a problem. Don’t expect a lot of frills. Pool was permanently closed and we never saw a gym or laundry room. That was fine for a lower price. It was close to Wienerlicous a great hot dog place.
