Great place .. will stay again

Great location .. 1/2 mile walk to the boats or take shuttle , good food near by , good hot water in the shower BUT takes about 3 min of running before it gets there (at least to our room) so turn it a few min before getting in ..

Very basic place to stay. If you just need a roof over your head and clean bed to sleep, this is the place for you.

Perfect stay!

The room was perfect! Clean, fresh and reasonable price! Bed was most comfortable we have slept on in a long time! Several comfortable pillows on the bed. Microwave, refrigerator and kerig coffee was all clean and appeared new. Would definately stay here again and highly recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

Way better than expected

This motel has been recently remodeled, so everything was in great condition. They don't have the "extras" but they cover the basics really, really well - perfect for a family trip.
Aubrey, 1-night trip

The room was clean. Very, very stuffy air. WiFi and tv didn’t work. Wouldn’t stay here again
Ellen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Somewhat satisfied with the room.

Office staff was very friendly. But when I got to the room there was a dirty Washrag. left in a shower. Wanted to make coffee in the morning and all the coffee was decaf so they did not refill regular coffee.
