- I accidentally booked with an expired card, totally my mistake. However, they called at 8AM to tell me I only had three hours to call back with a different card number or my booking would be cancelled. I had a late night the night before and was trying to get some sleep before our long road trip that day, isn’t the general rule of thumb to not call until 9AM? Again, totally my mistake in providing the wrong card number, but I selected that I would be paying at the property, why did I need to be woken up in the morning to give a new card number? It’s not like I would have been able to get to the room without paying, and their check in is at 4PM. They also called back again shortly after because they got the card number I gave them wrong, and the lady acted like it was my fault for saying my number too fast. - the check in process was weird. I just told them my name and they gave me the room keys. They didn’t even ask to see my ID and I didn’t sign anything? Very odd. - the location was great! - the rooms were fine. Small and not especially modern, but adequate. - uncomfortable beds and thin walls, we could hear our room neighbors talking and running the TV, we were even woken up by a vibrating cell phone from next door! - aggressive signs in the room saying they’ll charge if you stain a towel and charging for a late check-out, it felt a little aggressive and excessive.

Absolutely loved my birthday trip to this magical place. From the moment I arrived to my last day, the staff greeted me first day. They even send me a message in case I arrive late with instructions how to get my keys. This can easily say was the best treatment I have ever received. The hotel exceeded my expectations, thank you so much. Strongly recommend it, and I will be back.

Clean and quiet. Walking distance to downtown and waterfront shops and restaurants. Arrived after midnight. Electronic door key fob was in a lockbox, they texted me the combo. That made it very convenient, didn't have to bother anyone. Friendly housekeeping, did a great job.

Great little motel.

This motel met my needs perfectly. The bed was comfortable, the maid service was provided daily, and both the water temperature and pressure were consistently good. It had a separate closet, which was a nice feature, though adding a door would have made it even better. The old dressing table was convenient for setting up coffee and storing food. Overall, it was a great little motel for the week!

While this is a basic hotel, I was impressed with the workmanship in the remodeled bathroom. I have not found better workmanship in more expensive hotels. For the price I could not expect more. The cleanliness was exeptional.

Waste of money

The worst place we have ever stayed. The bed was lumpy, we kept rolling to the center. Towels were hard as a rock. No heating, had to use a portable heater. Walls are super thin, could hear people talking/yelling all night, kids screaming & jumping around. Manager on site did nothing about the noise. Cars double parked in the small parking lot. I had to come home and take a nap because I had such a terrible night. Completely ruined my weekend.
