So, keep in mind that this stay was only to sleep from about 10 pm until early morning. I was looking for a place that was not expensive, yet clean and safe. I found it. It's not fancy, it's not super modern, but it was a quiet, clean night's sleep.

This dated property was in a convenient location. As often happens, These older places have a stagnant smell in the room, perhaps old carpet. It had a decent view of the tide changes in the channel across the highway. For the price, it was acceptable although would not choose a second time.
