Older property, but it is a wonderful stay. Staff is friendly, rooms are clean. Love the fireplace in the room. Garden in front is lovely, had my coffee out there, watching the blacktail deer. Walkable to beach in a quiet tree lined neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.

The ants are an easy fix with a regular pest service. Didn’t get a log for fire but one night. Breakfast was not impressive. Elevator broke.

Overall I liked the property. The plants were nice, as was the pool and jacuzzi. Staff was also nice. I had a two queen beds room. The rooms are a bit out dated for sure. Beds were quite loud. They said the beds were queens but they were definitely full size. My son and wife ended up taking one bed and I took the other. The bed I had chosen had a broken mattress ( 211 window side bed) so that was unfortunate. The cleanliness was great, bathroom was very clean. Just feels a bit outdated. AC also was holding on for dear life.. breakfast was fine. Over all pretty good, I just wish the bed hadn’t been broken. By the time I noticed it was already late.

Pick this place!

Lovely place. Fireplace and log in the room is a cozy touch. Balcony and sliding door is so relaxing. Hot tub is delightful. Breakfast is continental, nice offerings. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Water cooler is great to get fresh water all hours. Lovely plants and skylights in the public areas.

This was a so-so motel, worth it because the price was reasonable. The room was a bit rundown and not totally cleaned--built up dirt in the corners of the bathroom, mold on some of the grout in the shower, and blackout curtain missing some rungs so it didn't pull closed well. All things that could be easily fixed if someone were paying attention to details. Breakfast was okay, not much for someone who wants something healthy except boiled eggs and yogurt. All the breads were white flour-- sweet muffins or bagels. On the plus side, hot tub was very nice and the bed was comfortable.

The property is located in a very quiet part of town. Only one restaurant was close by, across the street but closes at 7 PM. The swimming pool, although we were too tired to use it, was the cleanest we’ve seen. Also available is a hot tub and a dry sauna. The hotel desk receptionist very nice and most helpful. Breakfast was simple but fresh and filling. Our room had a fireplace and a fuel log was provided. Nice way to close out the evening after enjoying the sunset at the beach’s approximately a mile away. Would we stay again? Absolutely and I highly recommend it to everyone.
