Check in was fine. There was a note on the door with a number to call and the person came very quickly to get us a key. The room was quite clean however there were 2 huge spiders and an earwig as soon as we went in the bathroom and a few more creatures this morning. The beds were comfortable though. It was quite overpriced in our opinion but with limited hotels there wasn't many options.

When I booked Dolen’s Inn and Suites I thought it was an Inn, not an old weathered motel with a blue metal roof. The pictures I saw were not of where we ended up. It was clean enough but certainly not what I thought we were getting. It worked for the night.

This accommodation was advertised as the Dolan Inn & Suites at 168 W River Rd with a photo of a charming two-storey house painted yellow with a white balcony. There is no building matching this description at this address. Instead we were given a room at Dolan’s Motel (132 W River Rd) a few doors down. As we arrived late at midnight in a storm, it was a scary experience to try to figure out why there was no one at the address on the reservation. The motel manager was not at the motel and just left a key in the door to our unit (not in a lock box) so anyone could have entered the room before our arrival. The Expedia listing clearly pictured the Inn & Suites building but there is a run down empty house at the listed address. The motel was definitely not worth the rate charged (photo attached). This felt like a bait and switch and we will be requesting a refund from Expedia. We do not recommend booking with any Dolan property.

Although the exterior can be deceiving as it needs a little lipstick, the rooms were fantastic. Spacious, great amenities, newly renovated, fresh and clean. When we checked in they had everything ready for us so it was literally under a minute. The lady at the front desk was very kind.

This was off season and not really kept up. The room was ok, but was clean. Best reason to stay was the short distance to the ferry.
