We stayed here for a quick overnight stop based on other reviews. The staff was so friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Rooms are tiny and the bathroom was very small but fine for a short stay. You do hear a lot of street noise but with the window closed and air on you can’t hear anything. It is located on the edge of town next to a gas station and across from a Dennys but those were not a deterrent for us. It’s a quick drive to the Wharf. Great price too!
