The room I was assigned was immaculate, with everything I needed to cook, rest, and relax. Every detail reflected the care that had gone into the room's layout. The reception staff was always friendly and helpful, with special mention to Hanna, who checked us in. This is an honest and reasonably priced business for the area. I recommend it.

Clean Spacious Convenient

This motel has decent provisions with a kitchenette, large bed and good sized bathroom. Its nice park close to your room door so luggage transfer is a breeze. Nice to sit out on your own patio or the larger table in the lawn. Laundry facility worked out well. The front desk hostess was helpful with suggestions of places to eat and shop in town. The motel is within walking distance of the waterfront, national park visitor center and restaurant/shopping district.
