Very basic accommodations, some noise issues.

Karen at the front desk was wonderful and helpful. Downsides were: Road noise, A/C is loud when running, bathroom light fixture is also a fan that's very loud -- can't have the light on without the noisy fan.

Bathroom was dirty, no water pressure, you run the sink water and the drain smells so bad makes you want to puke. Beds were horrible could tell they haven’t been replaced in years. Floors were dirty. Place was very outdated.

The Fenwick Islander Motel is nice and the people are friendly, They can invest in some new mattresses, we had a room with a king bed and it was in the shape of a U. I would have to consider another place to stay, as it was just not comfortable to sleep.
