This motel was very dated but very clean & well kept. There were no drinking glasses in the room. It was conveniently close to the funeral home we were attending.

A nice place for an overnighter
This is a quaint little motel. Very clean, close to restaurant, mall, and other essential services. It is a reasonable distance from the ferry.
It is older and somewhat dates but everything worked fine. It is quiet.
Just what was needed for a restful night before the ferry

Old motel. Price is expensive. Front door knob broken. Hard to use the key. Washroom sink knob rusty and broken. No aircon. Check out, front desk not available. Parking is free, but going in and out is a downhill/uphill challenge. Coffee maker is old and dirty.

Si vous voulez juste faire un stop d une nuit, sans rien utiliser d'autre que le lit, c'est bien, et très calme.
Pour le reste, le mobilier et installations sont vieillots, et le sol, mobilier et micro-onde de notre chambre étaient sale.
Le monsieur a la réception est gentil.

The host was very nice and gave us great sightseeing info.
Our room was nice, with everything we needed, but it needed updating. The bay window needed work and the bathroom was out of date, with not enough places to hang towels to dry.
