We stayed at Holly Hill in the middle of the Lighthouse Challenge. We were very pleased with the price, because many places had raised their rates due to the event taking place. We were most impressed that the parking lot was so well-lit when we arrived! We reserved two rooms, #8 and 9, but ended up parking at room #5 because others had taken our spot. Perhaps numbering the parking spaces would be helpful for this, otherwise it’s certainly not the fault of the motel owners. Our rooms were very clean, and the beds were comfortable. However, each room was provided with ONE washcloth and two bath towels. NO hand towels. Our daughter’s bathroom smelled strongly of smoke. Even spraying it didn’t help. There was one plastic cup in each room; no ice bucket. No chair to sit on. The air conditioner worked very well. We didn’t get showers because there was only warm water (no cold in either room!) and we didn’t know if we would be able to control the temperature. We brushed our teeth quickly because the water started out warm and only rose in temperature. We googled the remote in order to figure out how to even turn the tv on. Our daughter did the same in her room. She was finally able to figure it out, and managed to find a couple of channels; ours never went beyond saying “no channels.” To be fair, we could have gone back to the office and asked for help, but we were getting up early anyway. We did get a good night’s sleep, but we wouldn’t recommend this motel.
